The most common reason to replace tires is insufficient tread depth. The grooves in the tire channel water away to prevent hydroplaning, which results in a loss of traction. When a tire has less than 3/32'; tread depth, it's ability to channel the water is diminished and it's time to replace it. A rule of thumb is to stick a penny in the tread with the top of Lincoln's head parallel to the surface of the tire. If any part of his head is exposed, the tire should be replaced. Most tires also have tread wear indicators that show as bars across the tire when there's insuffucuent tread.
Anytime a tire has small cracks in the sidewall, or is mis-shapen in any way, it should be replaced.How to know when to change tires?
check your owners manual if you do not have as a tire dealer he or she will look it up for you.
