Tire needs to be replaced if they are worn out. It is an essential element that should be kept in a rigorous check to avoid accidents.


Tires are one of the important parts of a vehicle. The vehicles move from place to place due to the help of the tires. The number and size of tires are decided depending on the type of vehicle. As the tires cover rough areas it might need replacement often in the vehicle's lifetime so replacement of tires become essential because of the safety of the vehicle. The safety of the passengers in the vehicle depends on the condition of the engine and on the condition of tires. Therefore, it is important to know when to replace the tires. Tire replacement in Vancouver is generally done by the professional mechanics as it is done for the safety of the vehicle.


Below are the tips that are given that will help to understand when to replace the tires and they are:


1. If the tires tread then it's a sign that the tires need to be replaced . Generally, the tires divert the water that comes in contact with a surface of it as the vehicles move on the road. Hence, this improves the traction on the wet road.


2. One can use the penny test or can use a tread depth indicator to measure the treads.


3. There is a legal requirement of tread depth like in UK and USA the minimum requirements of tires to be considered to be worn out is 1.6mm.


4. One should also check for the irregular tread wear before going for a replacement. It also gives an indication of misalignment of the wheel.


5. One can use the car manual for considering the replacement of tires. Generally, the tire needs replacement after 6 years and the maximum period is ten years. But the best thing is to follow the guidelines given in the manual.


6. In the case of four-wheelers, all the tires need to be replaced all at one go.


7. In case if the front tires are suffering from uneven wear then it is sure that there is a misalignment . This should be checked and the tires should be rotated with the rear tires.


8. There are very fewer chances that there might be perfectly even tires so before replacement one should check the depth of the tires at different points.


9. It is always recommended to change the tires at the same time but before doing this proper testing should be performed because if there is mismatched tires then there might be mismatched safety in the tires.


10. One should check the pressure in all the tires and if required then one should fill the pressure in the tire.


11. In warm climates tires tend to wear faster so during this time ,the tire replacement tread depth should be performed on a regular basis to avoid accidents and also helps to keep a check of immediate replacement.


Tires can wear out or get punctured anytime while moving on the road so it is recommended to always carry an extra tire at the back of the car and all the vehicles should have some car repairing tools for an emergency situation.
