Your tires are your vehicle’s most used—and most overlooked—safety system. The treads on street tires are designed to keep your vehicle connected to wet road conditions, expelling water from your path to prevent you from losing control of your vehicle. Snow tires give you more traction so that you can be a safe driver in the winter.
When your tires get old, the tread starts to wear down, making them less effective and you less safe. Stay safe on the road by keeping an eye on the depth of your tread pattern, or checking for an indicator bar built into the tire. If you notice the wear indicator bar has become exposed, or the tread pattern depth is less than 4/32 of an inch, contact South Potomac Service & Tire Center today! Our skilled and experienced technicians can get new tires installed on your vehicle in no time flat.
