How Can You Tell that Your Tires Are Going Bad?

rn

The tires on your car will go bad from heavy wear or old age. When do you need to replace the tires on your car? How can you tell that your tires are going bad? Along with knowing the average timeframe of when to replace your tires, you should also understand the warning signs that your tires are wearing quicker than expected.

rn

[ READ MORE: What to Do After a Car Accident ]

rn

Signs that Your Tires are Worn

rn

As tires get used, the tread becomes worn down. Eventually, there won’t be much tread left, making driving dangerous. Little to no tread creates slipping when trying to stop and can lead to a crash since the tires won’t get the necessary traction. You can do the quarter test to see how worn your tires are. Place a quarter head-first into the tread. If you can see the top of the president’s head, then you need those tires replaced.

rn

How Often to Get New Tires on a Vehicle

rn

Experts recommend that tires get replaced every three to four years. For most drivers, age isn’t really a concern as the tread will usually be worn down over the four-year period. However, some drivers don’t drive their vehicles very often. Is it safe to go a long time without changing the tires, even if the tread is good? Unfortunately, the tires will be unsafe to drive with as they approach five years of age.

rn

Why do tires have an expiration date? It all comes down to the fact that tires are made of rubber. Like an old rubber band, the rubber loses its elasticity and becomes fragile. Eventually, cracks will begin to form on and/or inside the tire. The rubber of your old tire can snap, making you lose control of your vehicle. Yikes!

Keep Records of Tire Replacements

rn

Even if you are a driver that travels frequently, it is always a good idea to keep receipts of your tire replacements. These receipts will tell you the date you had the service done and whether all four tires were purchased and replaced.

Tips and tricks for washing your used car so it looks like new

rn

Now that spring is underway, it’s time to think about doing a little bit of spring cleaning. A good place to start when you’re ready to clean is your vehicle. While it is easy to take your car through the car wash, there is no substitute for doing it yourself. As efficient as the car wash is, washing your car by hand gives you complete control. If you aren’t sure where to start, these tips can help you wash your car like a pro.  

rn

Gather your supplies 

rn

Of course, when you’re washing your car, there are some obvious things you need, like a hose and access to water. You’ll also want at least two buckets, one with water and detergent and the other with clean water. For detergent, it is best if you use a car-specific brand, not just dish soap. Other items you need include sponges, a scrub brush, and soft microfiber cloths.  

rn

rn

rn

Rinse off your car 

rn

Before you put a hand on your car, give it a good rinse down with a hose or a pressure washer. This should help knock any big clumps of dirt off, and lets you see how much work actually needs to be done to get your vehicle sparkling like new.

rn

rn

rn

Use a brush on the wheels 

rn

Since the wheels of your car are the only part that have actual contact with the ground, it stands to reason that they would be the dirtiest. Using a scrub brush or sponge, make sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies to remove any dirt or mud.  

rn

rn

Wash the car body using a sponge 

rn

To wash the body of your car, start by using with a different sponge than the one you used on your tires to avoid debris. Work the new sponge across the body lengthwise without using a circular motion. While scrubbing in circles is the commonly accepted way to wash a car, it can damage the paint.  

rn

rn

rn

Clean under the car 

rn

This part might be easy to avoid, but it is important to clean underneath your car. Some of the things on the road can eventually cause decay on your vehicle, so spraying the hose underneath your car when you rinse it off is a great way to make sure everything is good to go.

Which compact cars have the most interior space? 

rn

Drivers who are looking for a new vehicle will likely be overwhelmed by the number of crossovers and SUVs that are currently found on the road. While a crossover can be an excellent vehicle option for those who are looking for a large, high-performance model, those who don’t want the bulkiness of an SUV might feel like there are no real options for a vehicle that doesn’t take up a ton of room while still providing plenty of space for passengers. Drivers who are on the lookout for the perfect car should take a look at some of these spacious compact models.  

rn

Most people think of a compact car as being closer in size to that of a toy car than any other traditional vehicle models. However, there are plenty of compact vehicles that are able to provide drivers with interior dimensions similar to that of a midsized vehicle.

What should you look for in a compact vehicle? 

rn

The interior dimensions of these vehicles vary based on the overall size and style of the model, but all of them provide enough space to comfortably seat passengers and hold any cargo. Some of the models, like the Chevrolet Spark and the Kia Soul, are of the hatchback variety, which allows drivers to expand the cargo area by folding down the second row of seats. There are other vehicles, like the Honda Civic, that only provide the space in the trunk, which in the case of the sedans on this list, is still quite a lot of room. Drivers who are looking for a used compact vehicle can look no further than OkCarz, where there is an expansive inventory and plenty of opportunity for vehicle financing

Reasons to purchase a convertible this summer 

rn

If you’re planning on doing a lot of driving this summer, you’re probably thinking about finding a great summer-time vehicle. While there are plenty of options, the style of vehicle that is almost synonymous with summer is the convertible. When you put the top down and hit the open road, you’re sure to pull jealous eyes to you. While having a vehicle that presents a care-free existence can be invigorating, before you make the decision to buy a convertible you should explore some of the reasons why a convertible is a great vehicle to have.  

rn

One benefit of driving a convertible is that when you put the top down, you’ll have a better view of the surroundings without all of the structures that are in a conventional vehicle. While this can decrease the blind spots in your vehicle, you are sacrificing some of the structural integrity that comes from the roof. However, stricter safety regulations make it just as safe to ride in a convertible as riding in a conventional car. The optional lack of roof also gives taller passengers an opportunity to unfold a little, since there isn’t a limit on how much headroom they have when the top is down.  

rn

rn

Two people driving on an open highway in a convertible with the woman raising her armsWhat type of convertible should you buy? 

rn

While most drivers think of convertibles as being classic cruisers, those who are looking for a vehicle that is an off-road brawler in addition to a fun car to drive with the top down are able to consider buying a used Jeep Wrangler. When you take the soft top off of your Jeep, there’s no question that all eyes will be on you thanks to the iconic body. Of course, there are also more conventional convertible sedans and hatchbacks that are available.  

rn

Buying a convertible can be incredibly expensive. Since they are premium vehicles, if you buy a new model you can expect an extra $5,000 to $9,000 on the price tag. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced convertible that fits all of your needs, take a moment to peruse the extensive convertible selection on the OkCarz website. When you find one you want, visit OkCarz to learn more about your financing options
