how to know if my Honda Accord needs new tires

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: tire pressure gauge, tread depth gauge, flashlight, and jack.
• Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.

2. Inspect Tread Depth

• Use a tread depth gauge to measure the tread on all four tires.
• Alternatively, insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head facing down; if you can see the top of his head, the tread is too worn.

3. Check for Uneven Wear

• Examine each tire for signs of uneven wear, such as bald spots or scuffing on the edges.
• Rotate the tires if the wear is uneven and consider realignment if necessary.

4. Inspect Tire Condition

• Look for any punctures, cracks, or bulges on the sidewalls.
• If any significant damage is found, replace the tire immediately.

5. Replace Tires

• If tires have reached the tread wear limit or show significant damage, remove the old tire using a jack and lug wrench.
• Install new tires by aligning them with the wheel hub and tightening the lug nuts to the specified torque (usually 80-100 ft-lbs).
• Recheck tire pressure and inflate as necessary.
