- Age: the tyre can be old enough to need a replacement. On average, a tyre can work efficiently for 5 years and with regular maintenance perhaps a bit longer.
- Worn out tyre: the wearing of the tyre is a natural process. Keep an eye on the tread depth of the tyre, it should be 1.6mm at least.
- Uneven wear: uneven wear can happen due to improper inflation. So keep an eye on the air pressure while filling the tyre and if notice any uneven wearing, get them a replacement as soon as possible.
- Badly damaged tyre: hitting curbs or jumping over potholes or even debris can damage a tyre. Make sure you don't drive recklessly and if notice anything odd with your tyre, take it to an auto repair shop.
- Cracks or bruises: tyres standing for a long period can develop cracks. Such tyres need proper rotation or even replacement. Bruises are also noticeable. So if you find any seek professional help.

Weather condition
Winter tyres, summer tyres and all-season tyres are three kinds of seasonal tyres. Why do you need three tyres, you ask? It is because different tyres have different limits to bear the climate of their surrounding. Not everyone can uphold after a certain point seasonal tyres are special because their unique design prepares them for certain weather conditions. A winter tyre is suitable for temperatures 7°C and below whereas summer tyres are suitable for temperatures above 7°C.

Tread pattern
Treads are the building rubber at the cirmafrence of the tyre which provides traction. It also helps in evacuating the water from beneath the sidewalls of tyres and hence, prevents hydroplaning. The different tread patterns have different strengths that allow the vehicle to perform in different circumstances. Such symmetric tread patterns are common in passenger cars and offer great traction. Asymmetric tread patterns are famous on race tracks because of their dual tread design. And Directional tread patterns are common in winter tyres as they can roll in only one direction.
