Tires are one of the most important parts of your car. They’re the only thing between you and the road! But how do you know when it’s time to swap them out for new ones? Let’s find out!

How Long Do Tires Last?

On average, tires last 3 to 6 years or 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on how you drive and how well you take care of them.

Just because a Tire looks fine doesn’t mean it’s safe! Over time, rubber breaks down, even if you don’t drive much.

What Are The Signs You Need New Tires?

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

Worn Tread – If your Tread Depth is too low, your tires can’t grip the road properly. Use the penny test: Stick a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head down. If you can see his entire head, your tread is too low!

Cracks or Bulges – If your Tires have cracks, cuts, or bulges, it’s time for new ones before a blowout happens.

Vibration or Bumpy Ride – If your ride feels rough or shaky, your Tires could be unevenly worn, unbalanced, or damaged.

Frequent Air Loss – If you’re constantly refilling your Tires with air, there might be hidden damage or a slow leak.

Your Car Slides in Rain or Snow – If your Tires struggle for grip in wet or icy conditions, especially with the winter we’ve had in Southampton, PA, they may not have enough tread left to keep you safe. Bring it to Frank’s Servicenter and our expert Technicians will check them out for you!

How to Make Your Tires Last Longer

Check Air Pressure Monthly – Low pressure can cause uneven wear and blowouts.
Rotate Tires Every 5,000–8,000 Miles – This keeps the wear even across all four Tires.
Get an Alignment If Needed – If your car pulls to one side, an Alignment can prevent uneven Tire Wear.
Avoid Hard Braking & Fast Turns – These put extra stress on your Tires!

Tires don’t last forever, and replacing them before they fail is key to staying safe. If you’re unsure, bring it to Frank’s Servicenter at 645 Knowles Ave, Southampton, PA 18966 to see if it’s time for a new set.
