What are Signs of Needing New Tires?

Fortunately, there are several signs to alert you to the need for new tires. Your tires may make loud road noises with a slapping sound or thumping sound on the road that occurs faster when you pick up speed. This may be due to a broken inner belt in a tire. If your tread is worn down, your tires may perform poorly in the rain and you may skid when you apply your brakes or hydroplane on wet roads. If your ride seems extra bumpy or rough, your tires are likely worn down. You may keep losing air from a valve stem or a crack in a tire or you may see odd tread wear patterns on your tires. When the tread is worn, you won't be able to corner or handle your vehicle, as it should.

Tires Are Not Created Equal

It's important that you get tires that are Volkswagen approved, so they fit your specific model of vehicle and this ensures that they will perform, as they should for you. Local tire shops that handle many brands of tires will sell you tires based on what you want, or they may upsell you to another brand that may not be the correct type for your vehicle and its performance.
