When Should You Replace a Tire?

The Importance of Timely Tire Repair: Keep Your Car Safe & Smooth on the RoadYour car’s tires are the only part of your vehicle that actually touch the road — yet they’re often the most overlooked. A small puncture or uneven wear might not seem like a big deal, but ignoring it can lead to reduced mileage, poor handling, and even dangerous blowouts.At Lezof, we believe tire care is more than just maintenance — it’s about keeping you safe every mile of the way.Common Causes of Tire DamageTires face a lot of challenges every day. Here are some of the most common reasons they get damaged:

• Punctures from nails or sharp debris

These are the top reason for flat tires. A quick professional patch can save you from replacing the tire entirely.

• Under-inflation or over-inflation

Incorrect air pressure causes uneven wear and can damage the tire’s structure.

• Worn-out tread

Treads help maintain traction — especially on wet or slippery roads. If your tread depth is below 1.6 mm, it’s time for repair or replacement.

• Hitting potholes or curbs

One bad hit can bend the rim or cause sidewall bubbles, compromising your tire’s strength.When Should You Repair or Replace a Tire?If you notice any of the following, don’t wait:Loss of air pressure over timeA visible nail or puncture (especially in the tread area)Vibrations while drivingUneven tread wear or cracking on the sidewallsOur technicians at Lezof inspect your tire carefully to determine whether it’s safe to repair or if a replacement is necessary.
