Signs It’s Time for New Tires
Check Your Tread Depth
Tread depth is the first thing to check. Tread channels water away from the tire so it can grip the pavement, and as it wears down, stopping distances grow and the risk of hydroplaning rises. A quick way to check at home is the penny test: place a penny upside down in a tread groove, and if you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, your tread is likely worn to 2/32 of an inch and it is time for new tires.
Watch for Other Warning Signs
Other warning signs are just as important. Cracks in the sidewall, bulges or blisters, a vibration that grows at highway speeds, or uneven wear across the tread all point to a tire that needs attention. Age matters too, since rubber breaks down over time even when tread looks healthy. If your tires are several years old or you are not sure of their condition, our team can inspect them and give you an honest recommendation.
What to Expect During Your Tire Change
A professional tire change starts with removing the wheel and dismounting the old tire. The technician then mounts the new tire, inflates it to your vehicle’s recommended pressure, and balances the wheel and tire assembly so it rolls smoothly without vibration. Each wheel is reinstalled and the lug nuts are tightened to the manufacturer’s specification.
Modern vehicles also use a tire pressure monitoring system, or TPMS, that alerts you when pressure drops. Sensors may need to be serviced or reset after new tires are installed so the system continues to work properly. Your technician may also recommend a wheel alignment, since installing new tires on a misaligned vehicle can cause them to wear out early.
Choosing the Right Tires for Your Vehicle
The right tire depends on your vehicle and how you drive.
All-Season Tires
All-season tires are a popular choice for daily commuting because they balance traction, comfort, and tread life across most conditions.
Winter Tires
Winter tires use softer rubber and deeper tread patterns that stay flexible in freezing temperatures.
All-Terrain Tires
All-terrain tires suit trucks and SUVs that spend time on gravel, dirt, or rough roads.
Size and rating matter as much as tread type. Your vehicle’s correct tire size, load rating, and speed rating are listed on the driver’s door jamb and in your owner’s manual. With hot summers, heavy spring rain, and icy winters across Missouri and Kansas, our service advisors can help you weigh the options and choose a tire that fits your driving habits and budget.
Getting the Most Out of Your Tires
New tires last longer with a little regular care. Rotating your tires at the interval your manufacturer recommends helps them wear evenly, and many drivers schedule rotations alongside their oil changes. Checking tire pressure once a month, including before long road trips, protects both tread life and fuel economy.
Pay attention to how your vehicle drives between visits as well. If the steering wheel pulls to one side or sits off center, an alignment may be needed. Catching these issues early helps you get every mile possible out of your investment.
