THE IMPORTANCE OF TIRES AND MAINTENANCE
                     THE 
IMPORTANCE 
OF TIRES AND 
MAINTENANCE
Tires serve a 
vital role
• Tires serve a vital role to your personal 
safety and your vehicle’s performance. Since 
tires are the only component making contact 
with the ground, they are prone to endless 
damaging situations. Driving on worn tires 
increases risk for poor input response
Checking your 
tires’ 
Checking your tires’ expiration date is the first 
way to gauge your tires’ lifespan. Tires are 
typically expected to last six years. It is also 
common for tires to last longer than that, but 
tires should not be driven on for more than a 
maximum of 10 years. Rubber weathers away 
simply due to the environment around your 
vehicle.
Inspecting your tire 
tread is the second
Inspecting your tire tread is the second option 
for determining the quality of your tires. When 
tire tread reaches 2/32 of an inch, the National 
Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
recommends replacing the tire.
Uneven tread wear is 
another sign for tire 
replacement
Uneven tread wear is another sign for tire 
replacement. If you notice tire tread indicators 
are visible in some spots but not in others, your 
tires have unevenly worn down and require 
replacement.
Lastly,
• Lastly, if you can observe physical damage to 
any of your tires, such as punctures, bulges, 
blisters, cuts and/or cracking, a replacement 
is most certainly necessary. Consider making 
a habit of regularly scanning your tires for 
visible damage.
A tire’s age and tread thickness are two easy 
ways to determine when to replace your tires. 
Checking the expiration date of your tires by 
acknowledging the manufacture date will give an 
indication of your tire’s expected lifespan. Closely 
monitor the tire tread for proper thickness while 
also looking for tread wear indicators.
