Is it Time for New Tires?

Your tires keep you connected to the road, providing you with stopping, handling, and acceleration ability. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell when your tires are wearing out, and you need to replace them with new ones. However, there are a few indications that it’s time for new tires here at Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM. Our well-stocked tire shop has replacement tires for various makes and models, and our mechanics will let you know when it’s time for a replacement set.

Mileage

One of the most common questions we receive at our tire department is regarding the average life of tires. There is no hard and fast rule regarding the maximum number of miles that can be put on a set of tires, as it varies based on many conditions.

Driving habits, road conditions, and climate affect how long your tires last. A general guideline is that tires will last around 60,000 to 75,000 miles.

Damage

Tires that have suffered repeated damage or punctures aren’t likely to last as long as tires that have been kept in pristine condition. This is why it is crucial to bring your car to our Dodge service center if you suspect that your tires have undergone any type of damage.

Age of Spare

One factor that many drivers forget to consider is the age of their spare tire. If the worst happens and you need to put the spare on, you’ll want to ensure it’s safe. Spare tires expire and should be replaced every six years on average to ensure they’re safe to use.

If you’re unsure whether or not you need new tires, bring your car to Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM today for an inspection. We can check their condition and repair or replace them as necessary.
