When Do I Need New Tires

If you take a penny, place Lincoln's head on the tire's grooves. If you see Lincoln's entire head, it indicates that the tire needs replacing. In terms of mileage, tires last between 50 to 60,000 miles, depending on driving habits, maintenance, and the type of tire on the vehicle. As stated, scheduling routine tire inspection and rotation is a good idea to ensure your tires are worn evenly.
