                     5 Indicators You May Have To 
Replace Your Tyres
Introduction
You have your private registration in place, the right accessories boosting your car's 
performance and the correct driving attitude showcasing your awareness of traffic rules. But 
did you know that each of these aspects would hardly mean anything if your tyres are not in 
order? 
Let's take a look at the distinctive warning signs indicating a requirement for tyre 
replacement.
Reduced Tread Depth
Every car tyre should have a minimum tread depth of 1.6 
millimetres. Any less than this renders it unsafe on the 
road. This is because a decreased tread depth results in a 
reduced grip and traction on the road, which can cause 
your vehicle to spiral out of control. 
Ageing Signs
Tyres age irrespective of usage. Temperature, storage 
conditions, driving style, pressure, speed etc. contribute to 
the life of tyres. These impact the performance and 
longevity of tyres considerably. You would need to keep a 
close watch on your tyres for signs of fatigue. 
Side-wall Cracks
With exposure to the sun, the oils in the rubber compound 
of tyres start evaporating and cracks or cuts begin to show 
on the side-walls. These cracks indicate that your tyre is on 
the brink of developing a leak. On serious cases, these may 
even lead to a blow out. 
Tyre Vibration
Excessive vibration of tyres could mean that your car's tyres 
are misaligned or the balance is off. It could also be an 
indicator of internal tyre problems. Vibrations, if left 
unattended for a long period of time, could result in 
wearing of tyres. 
Abnormal Bulges
Sometimes the internal frames of tyres get damaged and 
allow air pressure to affect the outer layers of the tyre. This 
manifests as bulges or blisters that extend outwards. These 
could result in tyre blow outs and similar catastrophes if not 
replaced immediately. 
Conclusion
It is important to check your car tyres for 
cautionary signs of replacement every now and 
then. This would eliminate any risk on the road.
