Your vehicles tires should be replaced if: Any portion of the tread is worn to the wear indicator bars—lateral bars molded into the tire grooves at about 20 percent of their new tread depth—or to a depth, as measured in a groove, of 1/16th inch or less. Tread wear is severely uneven (in which case have the wheel alignment checked) or the center is worn much more than the edges (be more vigilant about tire pressures). The tire sidewalls are severely cracked or there are bulges anywhere on the tire. There is any indication of tread separation from the tire carcass. The tire has been punctured and cannot be satisfactorily repaired. There are other reasons you may need new tires, as well. If you have been running on winter tires, then a change is in order in the spring. Using snow tires on dry roads accelerates their wear significantly and diminishes both traction and handling ability.
