When do you change your tyres? On time or only when there’s no other option left? For both bikes and cars, tyre replacement is something most of us push until we absolutely have to. Some people plan ahead, while others wait for a puncture or until the mechanic says, "Bhaiya, tyre change krna padega" But here’s the thing. Worn-out tyres aren’t just an inconvenience. They can be dangerous. For cars: Ever felt your car skid slightly on a wet road? That’s old tyres losing grip. Braking takes longer, and handling feels off. Worn-out tyres also don’t roll as smoothly, so your fuel efficiency takes a hit. If your tyres are wearing out unevenly, your steering might start feeling weird too. For bikes: Cornering on worn-out tyres, especially on wet or sandy roads, is just asking for trouble. The grip isn’t the same, which means braking takes longer. And if you think a small puncture is no big deal, think again. Old tyres lose air much faster, making them even riskier. And yet, most of us don’t really check our tyres until there’s an issue. Some go by mileage, some check for visible wear, and others just wait until the inevitable happens. But by the time you feel your car taking extra effort to stop or your bike slipping slightly on turns, your tyres are already telling you they need attention. So, how do you decide when it’s time for new tyres? Do you keep track, or do you wait until there’s no other choice left? Let’s hear it!
