1. Uneven Tread Wear: Check your tire treads monthly. If you notice one side wearing faster than the other, you need a rotation and alignment check.

2. Vibrations: Feeling shaking while driving at highway speeds indicates balance issues or internal tire damage.

3. Frequent Air Loss: If you're filling tires weekly, there's a slow leak that needs professional repair.

4. Visible Damage: Bulges, cuts, or cracks in the sidewall mean immediate replacement needed.

5. Penny Test: Insert a penny upside down into tread. If you see all of Lincoln's head, tires are worn out.
