Tires are one of the most critical safety components on your vehicle. Proper tire maintenance, including knowing when to change your tires, is essential for safe driving. At Smothers European Volvo Cars in Santa Rosa, CA, our service center can help with all your tire needs.
Why Tire Maintenance Matters
Tires are your vehicle's only contact with the road surface. Worn-out or damaged tires can greatly compromise your ability to control the vehicle, especially in adverse weather conditions. Under-inflated tires can hurt fuel efficiency. And tires with low tread are much more prone to flats and blowouts. If you live in Sonoma and drive often, your tires may wear out faster and need to be changed more frequently.
Signs You Need New Tires
There are a few key indicators that it's time for a tire change:
- Tread depth at or below 4/32 inches (you can check using a tread depth gauge or a penny)
- Cracks, cuts, or bulges on the tire sidewall
- Excessive vibration while driving
- Repeatedly low tire pressure
- Tires are 6-10 years old, regardless of tread depth
If you notice any of these warning signs, head to your local tire center. Petaluma area residents can stop by Smothers European Volvo Cars to have their tires inspected.
