When to replace worn tires

Tires are an important investment on your vehicle. Although they provide years of service, all tires eventually wear out and need to be replaced. The real question is: when?

National studies by tire manufacturers and distributors have proven that tire safety and performance depends on tread depth. So just how much tire tread do you need?

Vehicles were tested with tire sets of three varying tread depths: new tires with 10/32" tread, worn tires with 4/32" tread and near legally worn out tires with only 2/32" tread. Remember, the minimum standard to pass a North Carolina State Inspection is 2/32".

A new tire features deep grooves that channel water through the footprint to provide wet traction. As the tire wears, the reduced tread depth restricts the amount of water that can pass, resulting in lost traction. The studies have proven that as tread depth decreases, stopping time and distance increases.

To ensure proper performance and the safety of our customers, Everett recommends replacing your tires when they get to only 4/32" tread left. Since so much is riding on your tires, Everett is proud to offer a 30-Day Tire Price Match Guarantee and exclusively the Everett Tire Advantage program. If you've been rolling through winter on slick tires, be sure to take advantage of Everett Tire Month in April 2014.
