CHARLOTTE- If you’re driving down the road and feel your vehicle begin to shake— then you need new tires.

This can be a prominent indicator that your tires are worn out, but it can also be something small that is easy to miss. If you are experiencing any of these issues, you may need new tires and bring your vehicle into Auto Repair Mint Hill, NC.

Your vehicle’s shaking can indicate any number of problems, but if it only happens when you drive over a certain speed, for example, then there’s a good chance your tires are underinflated or worn out.

How Many Years Do Tires Usually Last?

Tires can last up to 10 years, that is, when maintained well. Tires don’t have an expiration date, and you cannot tell whether a tire has gone bad just by looking at it.

Tires can age regardless of use or lack thereof, and the only way to know for sure is to have them checked.

What Causes Tires to Wear Out?

A tire’s life is based on the miles it covers and the weight it bears. Some tires will last longer than others, but eventually, they will all need to be replaced.

In most cases, improper air pressure can contribute to the wear and tear of your tires. Underinflated tires will wear out faster on the outside edges of the tread where they come in contact with the road. Overinflated tires, on the other hand, can wear down the middle of the tread.

How Do I Keep My Tires From Wearing Out?

Tires will wear out depending on how you use them, so it’s best to monitor and maintain your tires by checking the air pressure regularly. It is also important to rotate them every 5,000 miles or so, and it helps by increasing the life of your tires.
