How often do you consider going for a tire replacement?
If your answer to this question is a no, then you’re not far off from most drivers who tend to hold out on tire replacement for as long as possible.
However, due to rubber’s natural degradation, tires don’t last forever. Hence, the need arises to replace in order to safeguard one's safety and the vehicle’s overall performance. But how do you really know when your tyres need to be replaced? Whereas tyre maintenance will help your tires last as long as possible. Typically, tyres should be replaced every 5 to 6 years even if they appear to be in good condition.
Signs Its Time to Replace Your Tires
Tread depth is one of the most telling indicators of a tire’s health. If you notice that the tread has become worn out, then it’s time to opt for a new tyre. Typically, when you visit any Maxxis Tyre Center, our trained specialists often check your tyres during every oil change and when to you bring in your car, SUV or truck for servicing.
Uneven tyre wear is often as a result of misalignment or a damaged suspension member. Ignoring to address this earlier could lead to compromised handling and increased wear on other vehicle components, resulting in higher maintenance costs in the long run. That's why at Maxxis Tyres, we recommend regular tire rotation and wheel alignment because it helps prevent uneven wear.
Worn or not, tires regardless of how many miles they’ve seen need replacing as they degrade over time losing their tractability and grip on the road surface.
Visible damage, such as cracks, bulges, and punctures, is a clear indicator that your tyres may need replacing. If you spot either of these issues, it’s best to visit your nearest Maxxis Tyre Center as soon as possible for an inspection and replacement.
How long does a tire change (or replacement) take?
Tire replacement takes about 30 to 40 minutes per tire. As such, if you were looking to replace all four tires, you can expect to wait for about two and half hours at any our Maxxis Tyre Center countrywide.
