New and Used Tires

The tread on your tires helps grip the road while you're driving. When you have worn tire treads, you could be putting yourself and your passengers in danger, especially in bad weather conditions. The best way to test your tire tread is to place a penny into the groove. If you are able to see all of Lincoln's head, tire replacement is recommended.

Tread indicator bars typically cannot be seen with new tires. However, if you are able to see these bars, this means that your tread has been worn down. If you can see more than one or two of these bars, bring your vehicle to Family Tires Corp to replace your tires.

You may notice that your tire's outer surface will begin to weaken over time. These types of weak spots on your tire can cause a sudden blowout, putting you and your passengers in an uncomfortable and possibly situation.

If you have had your tires for more than five years, it may be time for a tire inspection. Driving habits, road conditions, and the climate of where you live impact the mileage and lifespan of your tires. If you have had your tires for more than 10 years, it is recommended to replace them. When you take care of your tires and pay attention to the year milestones, your vehicle will remain in great condition.
