Did you know that your tires are rated for a certain number of miles that can safely be driven before they need to be replaced? Melloy Dodge takes pride in the safety of the vehicles our customers drive off the lot, and our service shop inspects the integrity of all vehicle’s tires before they leave as well. We get a wide variety of used cars daily, and it can startle us to see some of the conditions the vehicle’s tires were in upon trade-in.
In our New Mexico sun and dry climate, tires can be worn out more quickly. Our drivers must pay more attention to when their tires should be replaced. Tires that have been driven on too long, or have never been rotated, can lead to severe and sometimes fatal accidents that could have been prevented.
There are a few questions you should ask yourself to narrow down the timetable on your tire’s recommended mileage:
Have you ever replaced them, and in what year?
Did you buy this vehicle brand new? If so, when?
Have your tires been on a rotation schedule of every six months?
Tires typically need to be replaced every four to five years. Depending on the rating of the tired currently on your vehicle, they could need to be replaced sooner, especially if you take long trips often. Another sure way to find out the age of your current tires is to check the tire's sidewall for the DOT information. It's a four-digit number; for example, if it says 4716, that tire was produced during the 47th week of 2016.
