Need New Tires? Visit Your CDJR Dealer

When you’re driving and maneuvering at speed, your tires are the only part of your car in firm contact with the road. As such, car tires must always be kept in tip-top condition with regular checks and rotations. Just as importantly, you should know when it’s time to have a new set of tires installed. With this in mind, here are five key signs that you need to visit your local CDJR dealership right away for new tires. 

Road Noise and Vibrations

A significant uptick in road noise and vibrations often indicates problems with the tires or suspension. You might notice tires that are weakened, uneven, or potentially punctured. It’s best to ask a trusted technician to diagnose and repair the underlying issue. 

Cuts, Cracks, or Bulges

If any of your tires are clearly damaged, consider replacing them at once. Long, deep cuts or gashes in the treads or sidewalls often spell the end of a tire. Likewise, bulges or blisters caused by internal damage usually mean the tire must go. Too many cracks or particularly large cracks in the sidewalls can also make a tire unfit for continued safe use.

Excessive Unevenness

It’s natural for car tires to wear down unevenly, which is why regular tire rotations are so important. However, if your tires ever become so uneven that even rotation can’t resolve the problem, you’ll need to have the full set replaced.

Overly Shallow Tread Depths

Tire treads gradually wear down over time. Most tires start with about 10/32 or 11/32 of an inch in tread depth when new. Your tires will eventually diminish to 2/32 of an inch, which means the treads have become too shallow to securely maintain traction on all road surfaces. 

Persistently Escaping Air

It’s vital for tires to be kept at optimal pressure, as recommended in your owner’s manual. While checking your tire’s air pressure once or twice a month, take heed if a tire is persistently losing air. It might have a hidden puncture or embedded object that needs to be removed and repaired. You might also need a replacement tire.

Rotate or Replace Your Tires at Your Local Dealership

Tires typically need to be rotated twice a year and replaced every four to five years. The technicians at your local dealership can help keep an eye on your tires and let you know how much longer they’re likely to last. They can also promptly replace your tires when required.
