Buick Enclave: When It Is Time for New Tires
Factors such as maintenance, temperatures, driving speeds, vehicle loading, and
road conditions affect the wear rate of the tires.
Treadwear indicators are one way to tell when it is time for new tires. Treadwear
indicators appear when the tires have only 1.6mm (1/16 in) or less of tread remaining.
See Tire Inspection and Tire Rotation for more information.
The rubber in tires ages over time. This also applies for the spare tire, if
the vehicle has one, even if it is never used. Multiple conditions including temperatures,
loading conditions, and inflation pressure maintenance affect how fast aging takes
place. Tires will typically need to be replaced due to wear before they may need
to be replaced due to age. Consult the tire manufacturer for more information on
when tires should be replaced.
