When to Replace Your Tires. A Complete Tire Guide.

Safe Driving in New England. A Complete Tire Guide.

Driving in New England means your tires work harder than most, handling icy winters, rainy springs, and hot summer highways. Whether you’re navigating Boston traffic, taking weekend drives through Stratham, NH, or cruising up to Vermont, knowing when to replace your tires and where to buy them is essential.

At Lyon-Waugh Auto Group, our family of dealerships, including Audi Nashua, Acura of Peabody, BMW Peabody, Mercedes-Benz of Burlington, MINI of Bedford, MINI of Peabody, and Porsche Nashua, offers expert tire service, specials, and off-season storage to keep you safe on every road. That’s why our team of experts compiled this handy tire guide to provide everything that you need to know about tires.

When Should You Replace Your Tires?

Tire wear happens over time, but certain signs mean it’s time for a replacement. If you’re driving your Acura around Boston or your BMW through Nashua and Sudbury, here’s what to look for:

• Low tread depth: Use the penny test. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it’s time for new tires.
• Cracks or bulges: These can signal aging rubber or impact damage.
• Vibration while driving: Often caused by uneven wear or alignment issues.
• Loss of traction: If your tires slip more often during rain or snow, their grip is wearing down.

At Mercedes-Benz dealership, serving Lynnfield and the Greater Boston area, or our Audi dealership, near Burlington and Stratham, NH, our certified technicians can quickly inspect your tires and recommend the best replacements for your driving needs.

Choosing the Right Tires for New England Roads.

Not every tire is built the same. The best choice depends on your vehicle, driving habits, and the local climate.

• All-Season Tires: Great for everyday driving in areas like Peabody, Boston, and Nashua. These tires provide balanced handling and grip through changing weather.
• Performance & Sport Tires: Found on models from Porsche Nashua and Audi Nashua, these tires offer sharper cornering and traction, ideal for spirited driving through Stratham, NH, or winding backroads near Burlington, MA.
• Winter/Snow Tires: Designed for maximum grip in snow and ice. Perfect for BMW Peabody and MINI Bedford owners who face harsh winters across northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.
• All-Terrain Tires: A rugged option for MINI of Peabody drivers or SUV owners who travel to mountain towns across Vermont and New Hampshire.

Each Lyon-Waugh dealership provides tire options specific to your brand and model, ensuring performance, comfort, and safety year-round.
