When to Change Tires

There are three major factors that determine when it’s time to change your tires: their age, their level of exposure to harsh conditions, and the tread wear. Too old? Change ‘em. Mired in the elements? They’ve gotta go. Treads worn down to the bone? Contact us today to set up a tire change appointment ASAP!

Our team here at Andy Mohr Speedway Chevrolet created this guide to when to change your car’s tires for our friends in Speedway, Fishers, Indianapolis, and the surrounding Indiana communities. Contact us!

Sign #1: They Are Old Tires

Oftentimes, vehicle manufacturers will encourage you to replace your tires every 6 years, while the tire manufacturers will encourage you to replace them every 10 years. Here at our service center’s tire shop, we hope that you’ll at least get in touch with us every 5 years, that way, it’s better safe than sorry.

Sign #2: Uneven Driving Habits

Driving near Indianapolis can often be hazardous for your tires. From exposure to heat and ultraviolet rays to moisture, snow, rocky conditions, poorly maintained highways, and more, your tires are susceptible to wear and tear. Structural damages abound. If you’re dealing with more than just the morning commute, you should get checked out soon.

Sign #3: The Penny Test

Stick a penny in one of the grooves of your tire. If you can see the head of our 16^th president, then your treads are way too shallow.
