Signs Your Vehicle Needs New Tires
Watch for worn tread depth below 2/32 of an inch, which you can check using the penny test or tread depth gauge available at our shop. Uneven tire wear often indicates alignment or suspension issues that we can diagnose and repair alongside your tire replacement. Damaged sidewalls from curb contact or age-related cracking compromise tire integrity and require immediate attention. If you experience vibration while driving, especially at highway speeds, this often signals tire imbalance or internal tire damage that our technicians can evaluate. Tires older than six years should be inspected annually, regardless of tread depth, as rubber compounds deteriorate over time, even with minimal use. Seasonal changes also offer an opportunity to switch from all-season to winter tires for enhanced traction during Tacoma’s occasional snow and freezing conditions.
