At LA Auto Services, we know how important it is to keep your vehicle safe and roadworthy. One of the most crucial elements of your car’s safety is its tyres. Driving on worn or damaged tyres can affect braking, handling, and overall control of your vehicle. That is why we want to help you recognise the signs that your tyres may need replacing.
The first sign to look out for is tread depth. Tyres with insufficient tread can struggle to grip the road, especially in wet conditions. You can check your tread by using a simple gauge or the penny test. If the tread is below the legal minimum, it is time for new tyres. Uneven tread wear is another warning. This can be caused by misaligned wheels, incorrect tyre pressure, or suspension issues. If you notice uneven wear, your tyres may need replacing, and your vehicle may require a professional inspection.
Cracks or cuts in the sidewall are also a serious concern. These can occur due to age, road hazards, or extreme temperatures. Any visible damage on the tyre sidewall can lead to a blowout and should be checked by a professional immediately. Bulges or blisters on the tyre surface are another warning sign that the internal structure of the tyre is compromised, and replacement is essential.
Vibration while driving is another indicator that something is wrong with your tyres. If your car vibrates at certain speeds, it could be a sign of uneven wear or internal damage. Ignoring this can lead to further tyre deterioration and even affect other components of your vehicle.
