How often do you need to install new tires on your vehicle? The answer depends on a few factors, such as how frequently you drive, the type of conditions you drive in, and your driving style. Keeping your tires in great condition by replacing them before they completely wear out will help you stay safe on the road and will reduce the risk of accidents.

Some things to consider when deciding whether it's time for new tires or not include:

• How much the tread is worn down. You can perform the penny test to see if your tires have a substantial amount of wear. Place a penny with Lincoln upside down into the tread of your tires. If the tread reaches past his head, the tire isn't worn. If the tread doesn't touch his head, it's worn down, and the tire should be replaced.
• The conditions you drive in. Roads with a lot of potholes or unevenness are going to wear down tires more quickly than smooth surfaces. Driving in wet or snowy conditions will also put more wear and tear on your vehicle, meaning you should replace your tires sooner.
• Your driving style. If you have a habit of braking forcefully, accelerating quickly, or taking corners too quickly, you're likely putting more strain on your tires compared to a less aggressive driver.

Also Remember - Brakes stop your wheels but tires stop your vehicle.
