How to tell if you need new tires?
In this video, I will show you how to know when to replace your tires. Too much bad “Common sense” advice is out there that only take the tire tread depth into consideration when making this important decision. Not only that, but the common recommendation of 1.6 mm or 2/32” of tread depth remaining or only using the tread wear indicators is wrong.
The three things to consider when deciding when to buy new tires are the Tire Condition, Tire Age and your Usage conditions. Find out why and more in our video.
If you are looking for the Tire tread depth gauge I used in the video, find the links to it below.
