Is it time to replace your tires, or can you squeeze out a few more miles? In this episode, we answer the classic question: "Hey Dad, when should I get new tires?" Using the simple penny test (while we still have pennies!), we dive into how to check tread depth, spot dangerous wear patterns, and avoid getting talked into a premature replacement. We talk about:
- What uneven wear, bubbles, and exposed belts mean
- Why not all vehicles (or drivers) need top-tier tires
- Whether extended warranties are worth it
- The smart way to shop for tires on a budget
Whether you're driving a college beater or logging highway miles weekly, this episode gives you the knowledge to make the right call—on your own terms.
