So, when should I replace my tires?

You should find a penny (even if you have to dig into your couch!) and then put it into a groove in your tire's tread. If you can see the entirety of Lincoln's head then it's time to replace your tire. Tires with this much of their tread worn away are usually called "bald" tires, which are dangerous to you, your passengers, and other motorists. This gets even worse in the winter, when snow and ice can make roads treacherous.

Tire rotation

Tires wear unevenly as you drive on them. This is because different portions of the tire get used more depending on if they're in the front or the back of your vehicle, and on the left or the right. Rotating your tires helps extend their lifetime, and save you money. Experts agree that, generally speaking, tires should be rotated every six months or approximately 7,000 miles, whichever comes first. You should consult your owner's manual for information on this topic that is specific to your vehicle.
