When should I get new tires for my car? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, there are\u00a0really no\u00a0hard and fast rules about when a vehicle will need a new set of tires. A lot of the math surrounding the formula depends on how many miles are driven each year<\/a> and how hard a driver is on their tires. However, tires do have what could be charitably called an expiration date. Owners should really start paying close attention to their\u00a0tire\u2019s tread depth at around the six-year mark and, even if you don\u2019t put a lot of miles on your vehicle each year, tires should probably\u00a0be swapped out after 10 years of service.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I tell how old my tires are? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most of the information you need to know about your tires is\u00a0actually printed\u00a0on the sidewall. Every tire has a 12-character alphanumeric code on the side that starts with DOT. The tire\u2019s\u00a0birthday code will be contained in the last group of four numbers. For instance, if those numbers are 2613, that means those tires were manufactured in\u00a0the 26th week of 2013. A tire that doesn\u2019t have this code was made before 2000 and\u00a0should\u00a0definitely be\u00a0replaced\u00a0immediately.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
