You know for sure that the time will come when you will have to replace your tires. You have to take this aspect into account from the moment you mount a new set of tires. With their regular use, they become thinner and more damaged over time. The question is: when do you understand that it's time to think about a new set?

You have probably heard more than once that tire pressure is somehow dependent on the outside temperature. In fact, the temperature has a lot to do with the entire operation of the vehicle, and not just with the tires.
