2. It’s important to keep your tires in good
condition for your personal safety and to
prolong the life of your vehicle. And it also may
be the law.
In some jurisdictions, there are laws in place
requiring the replacement of worn tires. In
many states, tires are considered to be legally
worn out when they have worn down to 1/16″
(1.6mm) of their remaining tread depth.

upside down in the middle of the tread.

6. Typical Tire Replacement: Every 6 Years
Depending on your driving habits, mileage, road
conditions, etc., you may need to replace
sooner than six years. NHTSA recommends this
length of time as a standard for drivers as a
good rule of thumb. However, always refer to
your vehicle owner’s manual.
