Tires are one of your vehicle's most important safety features.

The good news is that the service center at our dealership serving Michigan City offers a wide variety of tire options for vehicles of all sizes so that you can find a set of tires to meet your needs.

When to Replace Your Tires

It's important to know when you need to replace your tires so that you don't drive around La Porte, IN, on bad or unsafe tires.

The best way to determine whether or not your tires need to be replaced is to measure the depth of each tire's tread. Although you can invest in a tread-depth meter, you can also perform this test using a penny. Simply place the penny upside-down in one of the tread grooves. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, it means that your tires have less than 2/32" tread left and need to be replaced.

Of course, if your tires are making unusual noises or riding unevenly, they may need to be replaced even if they still have adequate tread left.
