Your Reliable Road Safety Companions<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most tires in the market these days come with tread wear indicators. Those are little rubber ribs at the bottom of your tires’ big circumferential tread grooves. When enough of the tread wears away, the treadwear indicators, often called tread bars, become visible and stand out. The idea is that when you can see the tread bars, it is time to replace your tires because they are at the very bottom of safe tread depth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tread bars, however, have their drawbacks. They often do not show themselves until only 1\/32 of an inch of tread remains. Tire experts say that tires should be replaced at least when the remaining tread is at 2\/32″, and in certain conditions, such as on wet or snowy roads, you need more impression than that to be safe.<\/span><\/p>\n
