One of the most important safety aspects of any vehicle is the car tires. Poorly maintained car tires can lead to a loss of traction , blowouts , and a potentially dangerous or life- threatening situation to yourself, the occupants of your vehicle and others on the road. The best way to avoid these types of fateful events is pay very close attention to the tires and car rims .Cars tires can last anywhere from 20,000-80,000 miles, though it depends greatly on the quality of tire and the way that they driven. Like most high quality products, high quality tires tend to last longer than lower quality because of the way they made and the material that is used. One of the biggest factors in tire wear is the way that they driven. Tires that peeled out after red light or frequently taken off-roads and into rough terrain are going to wear out much faster than tires that are driven reasonably on nicely paved roads. Because there is such a difference it is important that you check the tire wear often. Most tires have wear lines inside the tread that indicate when it is time for new tires; however, not all do. If your tires don't have these lines you can conduct the Lincoln penny test. If you put a penny upside between the tread of your tires and you can see the top of Lincoln's head, it is time for some new tires. When it does come time to buy new tires, it is important to take the purchase seriously. A good set of tires, when properly maintained can last you several years. On the other hand, if you ride them and your vehicle hard they will need to be replaced much more frequently, and you will be paying a lot more to maintain the safety of your vehicle.
