Warning signs to know an unsafe tire…
Improper inflation doesn’t necessarily mean your tire will look flat. Use a tire pressure gauge instead of relying on visual inspection. Inflate tires according to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation (usually in the owner’s manual).
Bumps or bulges are never good on a tire. If you notice a bump or bulge, replace the tire immediately.
Cracks can come with age and can often be a sign of dry rot. Look for a code (usually found on the sidewall of the tire) that indicates when the tire was manufactured.
Low tread depth could cause problems such as skidding.
Uneven wear is most likely caused by improper alignment, meaning your tires will wear faster in certain areas. Get your vehicle aligned and replace tires if necessary.
It is important for all of us to be aware of this risk and be caution at all times.
