Every few years, you’re going to have to stop by your Chevrolet GMC dealer to get some new tires for your car. This is because your tire tread wears down as you drive, and old tires can also weaken and start to crack or bulge. There are lots of ways to tell when it’s time to replace your tires, and there are also a few ways to prolong their lifespan.

When the Tread Gets Too Low

Your tires must have at least 1/16 of an inch of tread to be considered road-safe. Regularly check your tread depth with a tread depth gauge or a penny. A tread depth gauge provides a specific measurement, but a penny works just fine if you can’t get your hands on a gauge when you need one.

Put the penny into your tread upside down, then check how much of Lincoln’s head you can see above the tread. When his whole profile becomes visible, visit the dealer to replace the tires.

Typically, the larger the vehicle’s body and the more powerful the engine can mean sacrificing road agility and ease of handling. This is an accepted drawback of owning large cars with enough room for up to eight passengers, but the 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe has arrived on the scene to show you that you no longer need to compromise.
