Spring is around the corner in Mentor, OH, and here at your new Nissan car dealership, we would like to remind you about one key thing to do to get your car ready for the change of season: getting your tires rotated or replaced. It is impossible to overstate the importance of tires to your vehicle’s performance. Tires that are worn down or out of balance can cause serious damage to the rest of your car.

When Should You Rotate Your Tires?

Sometimes it can be difficult to know when to rotate your tires if they aren’t currently giving you any problems. Still, tire rotation is important to extend the life and quality. Mentor Nissan recommends getting your tires rotated every other time you get an oil change. At the very least, you should rotate them twice a year.

When Is It Time to Replace My Tires?

There is a simple test to see when it’s time for you to replace your tires: grab a penny and insert it into one of the grooves with Lincoln’s head down. If you can see the top of his head, you should consider getting replacements as soon as possible, as your tire’s tread is very shallow.
