Even in the best of circumstances, tires aren’t made to last forever. There will likely come a time when you need to schedule a Mercedes-Benz tire change at Mercedes-Benz of Asheville. We’re highlighting all the signs to watch for so you know when to make that call.
Old Age
No matter how well you care for your tires, they won’t last forever. Generally, tires last around four or five years. If your tires are older than six years, it’s probably time to replace them.
Low Tread
Tire tread depth should measure at least 4/32 inches. To quickly check your tires, insert a quarter into each of the grooves with George Washington’s head pointed downwards. If you can still see the top of his head when you touch the bottom, your tread is too low.
Low Pressure
It’s not uncommon to occasionally have low tire pressure, particularly if it’s cold out. If your pressure is continuously low, even after refilling it, you may have a leak. If so, it’s time to schedule repairs or maybe even replace it.
Uneven Wear
If your tires appear to have worn down unevenly, this is also a cause for concern. This can be the result of misaligned tires, bad driving habits, or missing routine tire rotations.
Sidewall Damage
Do your tires have visible sides of wear such as bulges or cracks? If your tires are visibly worn, just imagine how they’re performing. Once you can see that your tires are bad, you need to get rid of them.
