  • 2. How do I know when I need new tires?

    Tires wear out over time, and their condition can affect your safety. If you notice any of the following, it's time to check your tires:

    Low tread depth: Tires that no longer have enough grip for safe driving.

    Frequent flat tires: Repeated punctures or air loss may indicate tire damage.

    Cracks or bulges: Damage to the tire’s sidewall can lead to blowouts.

    Vibrations or noisy driving: Uneven tire wear may cause unusual vibrations or road noise.
