When to Replace Your Car Tyres

Your vehicle's tyres are crucial for safety and performance, and knowing when to change them is essential. There are three key factors to keep in mind: age, tread depth, and possible damage.

1. Tread Depth: Regularly inspect your tyres, ideally once a month. Look for tread wear bars, those bands of hard rubber that become visible when the tread depth falls below 1.6mm. If you see them, it's time to replace your tyres.

2. Age Matters: Even if your tread depth is still good, consider replacing tyres that are more than 10 years old. Tyres can deteriorate over time, impacting their safety and performance.

3. Watch for Damage: Check for any signs of damage, like bulges or blisters on the sidewall of a tyre. These can lead to tire failure and pose a safety risk.

4. Uneven Wear: Uneven wear patterns on your tyres could indicate other issues with your vehicle. If you notice this, it's a good idea to have your car and tyres inspected by a professional.

Keeping a close eye on your tyres and following these guidelines will help ensure your safety on the road. If you're unsure about the condition of your tyres, consult with the experts at Okee Limited for a thorough inspection and replacement when needed.
