Never take your tires for granted. Check them regularly! A blowout can be very dangerous experience, especially if it occurs on a busy road.  Knowing exactly when to change your tires is crucial. Here are four tell-tell signs that your vehicle is in need of new tires:

1. When the factory tire wear bars on your tires start showing that is a clear indication that it is definitely time to get new tires. These bars are located at the bottom of the tread groves in several locations around the tire.  When your tires are new these bars are hardly even noticeable, but as your tires get older and more used the bars become apparent. When the tear wears out and reaches the same level as the tire tread, it is time for new tires.

2. Due to weather conditions your tires may deteriorate faster. This will cause your tires to have cracks, splinters, bubbles or bulges. This is caused by extreme heat, rough terrain, potholes and long hours of driving. These signs of deterioration are clear signals that it’s time to bring your car into the shop for new tires.

3. As your tires get wear out they become uneven. This will cause your vehicle to sway all over the road while driving. You’ll want to stop driving, pull to the side of the road, and check the condition of your tires.

4. Some shaking on poorly paved roads is common, but if your vehicle is constantly shaking, even on exceptional highways, this may be because you need new tires.  The shaking may be because for poor tire alignment, uneven tire wear, or tire balance and could also indicate there is a problem with the interior structure of your tire.
