Sure, if you have a flat of course you know you need new tires. But generally speaking, our tires need to be replaced long before they go flat. So how do you know when it’s time to contact our Nissan service center for new Nissan tires?
Five Signs You Need New Tires
There are a lot of indicators that it’s time to get new tires for your Nissan car, truck, or SUV. Today our service experts are sharing five ways you can tell if you need new tires.
- Your tires are bald. This is the most obvious one, but you can actually check for work down treads before your tires go bald. Just put a penny in your tread with Lincoln’s head facing down – if part of his head is covered you’re fine, but if your treads don’t reach his head, it’s time for a replacement!
- Sidewall cracks and gouging. Just take a look at the side of your tires. If you can see cracking or gouges, your tires are damaged and at risk of a blowout.
- A bubble or bulge. Again, check the sides of your tires. If you see a bubble or bulge, it could be a sign of air between layers or something else – but it’s always a sign it’s time for a replacement.
- Uneven tread wear. This requires looking at all of your tires to see if they are wearing down evenly. Too much uneven wear can be dangerous, so see our service technicians for new tires.
- Vehicle shaking. Of course a rough road full of potholes will have you feeling a little rattled, but regular shaking on smoother surfaces often indicates problems like poor alignment or an internal tire problem.
