How Often Should You Change Your Tires?

Ordinarily, we recommend that you get new tires approximately every 80,000 km (50,000 miles), or every six years, whichever comes first. Of course, there may be unforeseen reasons why you should change your tires sooner, like if you notice uneven wear, balding, bulging, or other visible signs of aging or damage while inspecting them. It is also essential that you book seasonal tire changes as temperatures shift to ensure your Toyota is always at the top of its game, even when road conditions get messy.

4 Signs Your Tires Need to Be Replaced

Your tire health can be the difference between a pleasant drive and a call for Roadside Assistance. A good set of tires will keep you fully in control with the precise steering and responsiveness drivers expect from Toyota, whereas worn-out tires present a safety risk with the possibility of skidding, hydroplaning, and blowouts. What’s more, your engine will work harder and consume more fuel!

To ensure you don’t get caught out, we’ve asked our expert technicians which top warning signs you need to look out for when inspecting your tires. If any of these sound familiar, then it’s time to get in touch for a tire swap!

  • Visible Tire Wear Bars
  • Cracks
  • Bulges
  • Cuts

Each of these red flags weakens the structural integrity of your tires and could lead to a blowout. As well, visible tire wear bars mean your tread has almost worn down enough to impact your traction, endangering your ability to stay on course, grip without skidding, and stop in time to prevent a collision. Don’t wait; book an appointment with our factory-trained technicians today and drive with peace of mind!

Tire Tip: Replace All Four Tires at Once

When purchasing new tires for your Toyota, it’s essential to replace all four tires at once. Though this may sound expensive, it will ultimately save you additional tire purchases and dealership visits in the long run, and will ensure you get the most out of your tires by having them wear evenly.
