The Subaru Difference
Importance of Tire Safety
When To Replace Your Tires
Below we have outlined a few warning signs or factors that may indicate when your tires need service or replacement.
Age
The age of manufactured products, especially motor vehicle parts, plays a significant role in the performance and tear rate. Tire experts and manufacturers advise replacing tires with over six years of use since manufacture and a maximum period of use of fewer than ten years. The date of manufacture is mostly fixed on the side of the tire. Look for the date and calculate the age of your tire.
Bulging
A tire mostly bulges after repeated contact with potholes. The brand or quality of the tires also contributes significantly to the probability of a bulge. Experts explain a bulge to be a result of an air pocket easily prone to burst, which may lead to a car accident. Frequent assessment of your tire health is recommended to avoid such errors.
Depth of the Tire Tread
Tire experts explain the extent of tires being worn out to the depth of 2/32nds inch. Mostly, a tread gauge is preferred to measure the tread depth. However, using a coin such as a penny could come in handy if there is an immediate need to assess the depth of your tire tread.
Ensure the vehicle is in the Park Position, and the handbrake is on. Take a penny coin and insert it inside the tire tread with the coin's head inside the track. If you can see the top of the head on your coin, then the tread is not deep enough, and you should replace the tire.
Weathering
Tires get exposed to all types of weather conditions such as snow, heat, and water. This exposure increases the development of cracks on the material used to construct your tires. At your scheduled service appointment, be sure to ask our factory-trained technicians to check your tires for signs of cracks on the tire walls or tread blocks. Any sign of damage due to cracks is an indicator of the wheel's immediate replacement to prevent looming danger.
Tire Vibrations
Most drivers understand cruising down the highway as a smooth and enjoyable ride. However, vibrations emanating from the tires is an indication of tire issues like wheel balancing. Tire vibrations may be caused by such problems as separated inner cords or belts, leading to bumpy and uncomfortable drives at low-speed. The vibrations are more aggressive at high speeds.
A wheel balancing machine may detect separated tire belts more quickly and accurately than the naked eye. Confirmation of separated belts or cords ought to prompt replacement of the tire to provide a comfortable ride.
Importance of Winter Tires vs Seasonal Tires
Most cars leave the factory fitted with all-season tires. The manufacturer's idea is to offer reliance and convenience to the car owner throughout the year. However, all-season tires do not perform appropriately during the winter seasons. They tend to skid or slide in extreme snow temperatures and may be hazardous on the road.
Winter tires are manufactured from unique rubber combined with other tire components specifically designed to grip the road during freezing temperatures and snowy road conditions. The tire's patterns and depth are designed along small grooves (sipes) to offer more traction on the road than any all-season tire could offer.
