Most of the time, out tires are not in the condition they should be, but you may not know some warning signs to look for. Tires are generally losing inflation due to changes in the weather or driving conditions. To ensure that your tires are properly inflated or don’t possess signs of wear and tear, nothing quite beats a visual check. A visual check will tell you when your tread is worn or if the tread is wearing in a way it shouldn't. For example, if the tread on any of your tires is wearing more on the inside or the outside, then you may have to get an alignment to correct the wear. And if you stick a penny in the tread and you can see the face on the penny, then it is quite possible that it is time to go tire shopping. Also, get your tires rotated when you get your regular oil change to help with the wear on your tires as well. Do you want to learn more?
