When they start to be flush in spots with the tread, it\u2019s time to plan updates for the tires. (If you have older tires on your truck that lack wear indicators, you need to keep a close eye on the tread yourself. Once it\u2019s less than 1.6 millimeters deep in any spot, it\u2019s time to replace the tires.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>You see bulges or blisters on the sides<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A blister-like bulge on the side of a tire is automatically a cause for concern. You need to get an immediate replacement \u2014 otherwise, you\u2019re risking a blowout and a major accident every time you\u2019re on the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You spot cracks or grooves on the sidewalls<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bulges aren\u2019t your only concern. Cracks, cuts and grooves that are visible on the sidewall of a tire are also immediate concerns. They indicate that a tire is leaking air and is ripe for a blowout. Get the tire replaced before you agree to drive anywhere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You feel the vibration of the road a little too well<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re brand new to trucking, you may not notice this, but any experienced trucker knows what the road should feel like under his or her wheels. If the road seems particularly rocky and rough, it could be a problem with your tires. They may simply be unbalanced \u2014 or you may need to replace them.<\/p>\n<p>Tire care is too important of a safety issue to overlook it. One of the best ways you can avoid <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/motor-vehicle-accidents\/truck-accidents\/\">a preventable truck accident<\/a> is to get into the habit of checking all of your tires before you head out on a trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you drive a truck for yourself or for a company, the ultimate responsibility for safety is on you \u2014 so it\u2019s important to know how to spot tires that need to be replaced.
