1. Check tread for safety When your tires have worn down to 1.5 millimetre (1/16 inch) of remaining tire depth they need to be replaced. Tires sold in North America are required to have "wear bars" moulded into them to make it easy to see when tire replacement is legally required. However, if you'll be driving in the rain, you should change your tires when there is three millimetres (1/8 inch) of tread left. Otherwise, water may not escape from under your tires fast enough and you risk hydroplaning — a dangerous situation in which your car loses traction and literally floats on the water. If you drive in snow, you'll need at least five millimetres (3/16 inch) of tread to get adequate traction. Make sure you have enough tread for safe winter driving, as well as driving in rain, depending on your needs. 2. Rotate your tires Rotating your tires helps to distribute tire wear evenly and ensures that you'll get the maximum road life out of them. The first rotation is especially important. Your owner's manual should specify both rotation period and pattern. If not, rotate your tires every 9,700 to 12,000 kilometres (6,000 to 7,500 miles) — your tire dealer should know the correct pattern of tire rotation. 3. Buy used tires If you own a car that you plan to drive only for another year, the last thing you want to do is to buy a new set of tires. If it's time to replace those tires though, it's really time. Rather than hesitate, buy a set of used tires. Call local tire dealers to see what's available. You'll be surprised by how much wear is left in tires that are turned in by image-conscious car owners. Have your tire size handy. If you cant check them, we can, no charge, no obligation. Hub City Discount Tires, , Nanaimo, 250-323-TIRE Duncan call or text 250-732-7369
