There are several things to consider when you’re shopping for a new tire. One of them is the tread. Most manufacturers recommend replacing tires when they get down to 2/32nds, but that’s not an exact number—tires can still be safe at 3/32nds or even less.

If your tires show signs of wear, such as cracked rubber or bald spots that expose belts beneath, it’s probably time to replace them before you put your car in danger.

Balancing Tires

Each time you balance your car’s wheels, take note of how far apart from each other your new tires sit on their hubcaps after a few rotations. If they’re further apart than they were when you first brought them in for balancing, it may be time to replace them.

Balancing your tires is important for safety. Unbalanced tires can affect vehicle handling, causing them to shake at different speeds, which could lead to damage. Unbalanced tires also have a higher risk of rolling over due to improper wear in extreme cases. To understand how balance works, it’s helpful to know what a balanced tire is. A perfectly balanced tire has its weight evenly distributed around its circumference.
