Over time, tires wear out and need to be replaced to ensure safety and proper vehicle performance. Here’s how to check if your Suzuki Bolan’s tires need replacing:

Tread Depth: Use a tread depth gauge to measure how much tread is left. If the tread depth is below 1.6 mm or if the tread wear indicator bars are visible, its time to replace the tires.

Uneven Wear: Check for uneven tire wear, which may indicate issues with alignment, suspension, o r under/over-inflation. If the wear is significant, the tires may need to be replaced.

Cracks o r Bulges: Examine the sidewalls for any cracks, cuts, o r bulges. Bulges can result from a tire impact o r internal damage and should be replaced immediately as they can be dangerous.

Vibration o r Noise: If you notice increased road noise o r vibrations while driving, it could indicate that the tires are unevenly worn o r damaged.

Age of the Tire: Even if the tread appears fine, tires degrade over time. Manufacturers recommend replacing tires every 5-6 years, even if they have sufficient tread left.

Solution:

Check the tread depth regularly and replace tires when the tread is worn down to the indicator bars.

Replace tires that have visible cracks, bulges, o r other signs of damage.

Regularly inspect tires for signs of uneven wear and have them aligned o r rotated as needed.

If your tires are older than 5 years, consider replacing them, even if they still look good.
