When it comes to road safety, you may assume that your brakes are the number one safety feature. However, if your tires don’t have sufficient traction to stop the car instantly, you might have a collision even with perfect brakes. With this in mind, always watch out for the following signs of worn-out tires. You can visit your local GM dealership any time to have top-notch new tires installed and your vehicle’s control and stopping power fully restored.

Shallow Tread Depths

One of the most common reasons drivers replace their tires is because the old tires no longer have sufficient tread depths to reliably grip road surfaces. When the treads of a tire have worn down to 2/32 of an inch, it’s time for the tire to go. In colder and wetter climates, when road surfaces are more slippery, consider replacing your tires when the tread depths reach 4/32 or 5/32 of an inch.

Difficulty Starting Your Car

When you try to turn on your car, it should start up promptly. If you notice that it’s taking longer than usual for your engine to crank up, it might be a sign that your battery is losing its charge. The slow crank is often one of the first indicators that your battery is on its way out.
