Here at Fairfield Cadillac, we want our customers to stay safe in their new vehicles. That's why we often share information about automotive care and upkeep. The condition of your tires plays a key role in vehicle performance and safety. Here are some signs your tires need to be replaced.
If the tread on your tires is low, they won't be able to properly grip the road and provide the traction you need. You can check tread depth by inserting a penny, face down, into the grooves of the tire. You shouldn't be able to see the top of Lincoln's head. If you can, it's time for a replacement.
If you notice uneven wear while inspecting your tires, this could be a sign of poor wheel alignment, improper inflation, or another issue. Another telltale sign it's time to shop for new tires is if you notice a bubble on the side of the tire or if the rubber is cracked.
