How often do you have to change your tires or when do you know its time to change?

i just spent 290 on 4 new tires is this ok?How often do you have to change your tires or when do you know its time to change?
that's high for a car, low for a truck. If it's low, put a penny in the tread, lincoln upside down. If his head doesn't get covered by tread, replace.How often do you have to change your tires or when do you know its time to change?
290 isn't bad for a new good set installed, you need to be thinking about tires when they wear below 5/32 inch of tread left and they get dangerous at 2/32. also if they have damage like a broken belt they would have to be replaced no mater how much tread is left
That's a good price for four tires. Test your tread with a penny - if you can see the top of Lincoln's head above the tread, it's time to get new tires.



Don't forget to rotate your tires every 6,000 miles (or every other oil change) to get the most mileage out of them by spreading the wear over the entire tread.
That price is typical. They can get much more expensive. I spent $235 on new tires on sale from Les Schwab. To know when to get new tires, test the tread with a penny. Use Lincoln's head as your measure. If the tread covers up his head, you're fine. If the tire tread doesn't even come up to his head, get new tires.
$290.00 for new skins is a reasonable deal. I hope you got the road hazard warranty and free rotation deal.

It's time to get new tires when:

1. The wear-bars show. (1/16'; tread left)

2. Visible sidewall damage.

3. Body cords are visible.

4. Hitting a pot hole or curb has damaged the rim.

5. Local gang-bangers left your car up on blocks.
ONLY A WOMAN COULD ASK THAT GO TO A TYRE FITTER AND ASK
I have heard that in order to determine if your tires are ok or need changing all you need is a nickle. What you do is insert the nickel head down into the grooves and if the top of Thomas Jeffersons head is showing, then it is time to replace them.
