Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, tread depth gauge, and a flashlight.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

2. Inspect Tread Depth

Use a tread depth gauge to measure the depth in multiple locations across the tire.
- If tread depth is less than 2/32 of an inch, proceed to replace the tires.

3. Examine for Damage and Wear

Visually inspect each tire for damage or uneven wear.
- Note any cracks, bulges, or noticeable wear patterns.
- If any damage is found, replacement is necessary.

4. Check Tire Pressure

Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
- Adjust pressure according to the manufacturer's specifications if necessary.
- If tires are consistently low, inspect for leaks or damage.

5. Replace Tires

If the tread depth is inadequate or damage is present, proceed with replacement.
- Loosen the lug nuts slightly while the vehicle is still on the ground.
- Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
- Remove the lug nuts completely and take off the damaged tire.
- Mount the new tire onto the wheel hub and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
- Lower the vehicle back to the ground and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
