Keeping up with vehicle maintenance can sometimes seem overwhelming, but it is necessary to make sure your car runs its best for as long as possible. Here at A Crivelli Buick GMC, we try to help make service tasks as simple as possible by providing tips and education to our Reno, PA customers. Here are some suggestions to help you know when it's time to replace your tires.
Visual clues like bubbles along the sidewalls, cracked rubber, or uneven wear are things you should take notice of. It's also a good idea to do a penny test to check the depth of your tread if you're concerned about the condition of your tires. This test is simple. Just stick a penny into the tread groove, head side down. If you can still see the top of Abe's head, your tires are quite worn.
You'll want to keep an ear out for squeaking noises. Also, pay attention if you feel your tires vibrating. These are causes for concern.
