When to Get New Tyres?

We all know that driving will eventually damage your vehicle, mainly the parts that are intended to wear after some use. This includes your battery, brakes, and perhaps more importantly, your car tyres. Even high-quality and well-built tyres will have a limited life; the constant friction between the road and your tyres, will gradually wear out the rubber, make the tread disappear, leading to blowouts and flat tyres.

One question that most mechanics receive pretty often is “how frequently do people need to change their tyres? Sadly, while we would like to provide you with one simple answer, there is not one. The truth is, thanks to demanding schedules and busy lives, nobody has time to fully check their set of Hankook Tyres Birmingham on a regular basis. Certainly, if you are able to check your car periodically, you will probably notice that your tyres have to be replaced after some time.

Several different factors influence how much time your tyres can last, so giving an exact answer is quite difficult. For instance, the way you drive plays a key role—tend to push your vehicle to its limit or turn aggressively? Your tyres are going to wear down faster. Tend to maintain all your tyres inflated properly? Then they can last longer. You like to use all-season tyres? They have a softer compound; therefore, they do not last long.

If you want to know when it is time to get new tyres, check these five signs that you require new tyres.

Bulging

This typically occurs in your tyre following significant impacts with curbs or potholes. Manufacturer defects could also trigger this problem but tend to be less common. Basically, a bulge or lump is caused due to air stuck between the outer and inner lining in your tyre, resulting in air pockets formed in the weakened area. Keep in mind that if you do not repair this, the bulge can cause serious injury and damage.

Weathering

Your tyres are constantly exposed to different elements such as heat, snow, cold, water, and ice; and as they are made out of rubber, this natural material can break down as time goes on. That is why you must know all the indications of weathering. Some of the most common signs are fine cuts and cracks between tread blocks. If you ever encounter these fissures, which will reveal the inner materials of your tyre, it means you need to replace them right away in order to prevent further issues or damage.

Vibration

Vibrations may be an indication of many tyre problems. A major problem that could cause vibrations is when your tyre belts come apart. Even though this might not be visible, it becomes clear once you start driving. The feeling of driving on a detached tyre has been described as lumpy and could lead to serious accidents. If your tyres have this issue, you should replace them immediately.

Age

In general, most manufacturers recommend replacing tires after five or six years of purchase. Most tyres include a stamp showing the year and week your tyres were manufactured. You can use this label to evaluate the timeline and age for replacement.

Tread Depth

The tread depth of your Car Tyres Birmingham should never surpass 1/6 of an inch. It is important to check your tyres regularly and decide whether they have to be changed.

Conclusion

So, as soon as you notice inner materials from your tyres exposed, like fabric or metal from the sidewall or tread, replace them instantly. Also, your tyres need to be rotated and inspected regularly to prolong their lifespan.
