But what's the real magic number when it comes to replacing tires? Some say it's all about the tread depth, while others claim it's about the age of the tire. Did you know that tires have a birth date on the sidewall, which indicates when they were made?
This is where things get interesting - tire tread can wear down differently depending on your driving style. If you're a speed demon, your tires might wear down faster than someone who drives like a grandma. And if you live in an area with lots of potholes, well, let's just say your tires are in for a bumpy ride.
There are some fun facts about tires, too - like, did you know that the first tire was made from leather and was invented by a Scottish vet named Robert William Thomson? Or that the world's largest tire was over 12 feet tall and weighed over 2,000 pounds?
