A general rule of thumb is that the average life of a tire is 50,000 km. Each tire between its grooves has small pieces of tire that indicate the maximum allowable tread wear (wear index). When the tread is eaten up to that point (1.6 mm according to the law), then immediate replacement of the tire is required.However, because the tire usually does not behave properly before it reaches the minimum wear index, it is advisable to replace it at 3mm depth for summer and 4mm for winter tires.It is also necessary to change the tire in case of damage or abuse (holes, cuts, cracks, bumps, fractures, bloating, low pressure, overload, etc.).

It is the process by which the uniform distribution of the weight of the tire is controlled, in order to ensure its smooth and vibration-free movement.Unbalanced tires, with the vibration they cause, can lead to driver fatigue but also to premature wear of the tires and suspension of your car.

If your car “pulls” to the right or left when you leave the steering wheel on a level road, then you need to do an alignment check.
