There are several signs that your tires may need replacement, including a drop in vehicle handling performance or ride, uneven wear, poor gas mileage, vibration, poor brake performance, slick tread, and tires that lose air too quickly.

Many factors can contribute to premature tire wear besides tire rotation. These include improper inflation, driving conditions, tire misalignment in vehicles, and worn parts. To determine why your tires wear prematurely, you must physically inspect them.

The kind of damage and the age of your tires will determine the response to that query. It is often possible to repair a tire instead of replacing it, which can save you money and time. Depending on the location and angle of the puncture, a repair may be possible. In general, punctures at straighter angles between the treads are the easiest to repair.

Inflate your tires according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The manufacturer's recommended tire size and pressure and the maximum vehicle load will be listed on the tire information placard located inside the driver's door jamb. A tire pressure chart can also be found in the owner's manual.

Almost all newer vehicles have a temporary spare tire. Usually, these tires are much smaller than the rest of your car's tires. A spare tire has many limitations, including speed and proper driving distance, that do not apply to a typical tire. You should not exceed 50 mph or travel more than 50 miles per trip.
