When to change your tire?

 When using worn out tires, the stopping distance becomes longer and longer.

Changing tires can mean a whole lot of difference on your road trip safety. On wet surfaces, worn out tires will make your tires skid (hydroplane). Look out for the tread wear indicators as shown in the picture. When your tire gets to this level, its time to change.

Hydroplane – Hydroplaning occurs when a tire encounters more water than it can scatter. Water pressure in the front of the wheel pushes water under the tire, and the tire is then separated from the road surface by a thin film of water and loses traction. The result is loss of steering, braking and power control.

Here in the Philippines when the tires are already in the Tread Wear Indicator we still use it until we find new replacement or until the tire are already broke.
