How to Spot When Your Tires Need Replacing

Tires are the foundation of vehicle safety. Driving on worn or damaged tires increases the risk of accidents, especially in high-speed or high-temperature environments like Abu Dhabi. Here’s how to know when it’s time to replace them.

Signs Your Tires Need Replacing

• Tread Wear: Use the penny test or look for wear bars. If the tread depth is below 1.6 mm, it’s time for a replacement.
• Cracks or Bulges: Cracking sidewalls or bulging areas can indicate tire structure failure.
• Vibration: Excessive vibration while driving could point to internal damage or imbalance.
• Age: Even if they appear fine, tires older than 6 years should be replaced due to material degradation.

Seasonal Considerations UAE’s heat accelerates rubber deterioration. Regular inspections are key, especially before summer.
