Are you tired of your tires? Like a relationship that's gone stale, if your tires just aren't caring for you and your Toyota vehicle like they once did, it is probably time to get a new set. (This time, you can legitimately say, "It's not me, it's you.") How will you know when the moment comes to ditch your current tires? Well, if you're like the driver in the above clip, the time will probably come sooner rather than later. If not, here are a couple of signs that will tell you when it is time to finally move on.

Are your tires going bald? If the tread is wearing down, your tires won't grip the road properly which can lead to poor handling and dangerous situations in inclement conditions. To check and see if your tire has enough tread, take a penny and insert it, Lincoln-head down, into the tread. If you can see our 16th president's full head, you no longer have enough tread.

Have bulges or cracks started to appear in the rubber? It is possible that something like a steel belt inside the tire has snapped. You can probably imagine why this poses a problem.

Are you picking up some vibrations? And we're not talking about good vibrations this time. It could be an alignment issue, or it's possible that your tires are simply not holding air. Even if you can't find a visible leak, it's time to say goodbye.

If any of the symptoms apply to your tires, don't worry. Our expert service center team here at Trotter Toyota is here to help.
