How to know when to change the tires on your car

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Tires

In this video we see how to easily realize when it's time to change the tires on our car. The first thing to do is definitely to take a look at them, visually. On the edge of the tire there is an indicator called TWI, which basically means "tire wear indicator". We identify it on the tread: when it reaches the height of the indicator, it means the tire needs to be changed. There are also tools, even very simple ones, that check the tread depth. In this case, cheaper does not mean less efficient: you can find it on Ali Express with the code 1005005131471599 for 1.89 euros, free shipping. Or you can use a one euro or two euro coin (depending on whether you are talking about summer or winter tires).
