Tire Replacement Interval
It is recommended that drivers should change their tires once every six years. But if you are an aggressive driver or regularly expose your tires to harsh road and weather conditions, the frequency of your tire replacement would change.
To know if it is time to change your tires, you can conduct the penny test and keep an eye out for obvious indicators like bulges or scratches on the tires.

For the penny test, place a penny in the tread gap and check if you can see the entirety of the President’s head. You are supposed to maintain a tread depth of 12/32 inches, and if the tread depth is less, then you will be able to see the President’s head completely.
In such a situation, you must immediately have your tires changed and replaced and avoid any unforeseen incidents.
To make your tires last longer, check the tire pressure regularly, using a tire pressure monitor or gauge, and have the tire alignment checked and tire rotation corrected after every oil change or at least once in twelve months.
