Tires are very important in a vehicle. In fact it is a number one safety measures every Driver should embark. Therefore, we are going to tell you the symptoms that prove their badness. Where your tires meet the road affects traction, handling, steering, stability and braking. Tires wear over time, so it’s important to be watchful for the signs that of wear so that you can replace them before something goes wrong. A sudden tire failure can have serious consequences, especially if it occurs at highway speeds or in a vehicle with a high center of gravity, such as a truck or SUV. Doing a monthly visual check of your tires can help you spot these tire warning signs

1. Constant Check


Tires are designed with treads that provide your vehicle with traction. When the tread gets worn down, the water, snow, and other slippery substances don’t have anywhere to go except directly under your tires, severely decreasing your vehicle’s ability to maintain contact with the road. You can easily determine this by constant check.

2. Tire Life Span

Every tire has four years life span. It’s actually quite easy to work out the age of your tyres. On the sidewall of every tyre is a 10-11 digit Tyre Identification Number (TIN). This tells you a lot of information about the tyre including its week and year of manufacture. For tyres from the 1990s, the last three digits give this information, and for post-2000 tyres, it’s the last four digits. So, for example:

If the last three digits of your tyre are ‘278’ (with a triangular indentation next to them), then your tyre was manufactured in the 27th week of the year 1998. That means it celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2008. Replace it as soon as possible.

If the last four digits read 1315, then your tyre was manufactured in week 13 of 2015. They won’t need to be replaced until 2020-21 and will be officially past their used by date in 2025.

If your tyres have a three digit code at the end of their NIT, but there is no triangular indentation next to it, then your tyres come from the 1980s. Frankly, it’s a miracle they haven’t exploded or split in half. They need to be change immediately.

3. Tread Wear Pattern Guide


There are so many different scenarios that can cause the tires on your vehicle to wear unevenly or prematurely: misalignment, underinflated tires or overinflated tires. Figuring out the cause is extremely difficult when you don’t know what to look out for.

Tread wear Patterns Guide will help you identify what might be happening with your tires and offer possible causes and solutions. The most common patterns are center wear and shoulder wear, which are caused by over inflation and underinflating, respectively. Keeping your tires properly inflated and regularly rotated can help reduce your chances of premature wear.

4. Cracks on the Sidewall

Tire damage can also appear in the sidewall. To find this, look for tracks or cuts in the sidewall. There will be grooves that are distinct enough to be visible upon first or second glance. Sidewall cracks are a sign that your tire is developing a leak. Locate Autoremedy365 for immediate replacement.
