When we talk about keeping your car healthy, that includes the tires. Your tires are part of what makes your car drive smoothly on the Clovis roads, so it’s important to make sure they are properly taken care of as well. Regardless of how often or how far you drive your Acura, your tires will eventually wear down and require replacement. In order to avoid the unfortunate problems that can arise due to bad tires, you can check the health of your tires by looking at its tread depth.
When it’s time for replacement, talk with our service department to schedule an appointment! Learn more about checking your tire tread below.
Tread depth isn’t often talked about and should be. It’s important to overall car health and your safety while driving. Tread depth refers to the vertical measurement between the outermost rubber of the tire and the depth of the grooves within the tire. As you continue to drive your car through Madera, you naturally wear out the tire, decreasing its tread depth over time.
The closer the top layer of rubber is to the bottom of the grove, the more wear and tear on the tire and the sooner it will need to be replaced. The minimum tread thickness for passenger car tires is 2/32 inches. At that point, it’s time to get new tires.
It’s important to routinely check your tire tread depth, so you can gauge when it’s time for new tires rather than guessing. In general, you should check the depth at least once a month. Checking in between major road trips is also good practice. Next, you’ll learn how to check your tire tread depth.
