First, and overall, it's a good idea to review tire pressure, observe tread quality, and just get a sense of the all-around condition of all four. Tires shouldn't have any cracks; there shouldn't be any surface unevenness, and you should make sure each is at the proper tread depth. Do you have less than 1/16 of an inch of tread depth remaining? Has the rubber seen about ten years of use? Do your tire treads just seem damaged or worn from exposure? If the answer to any of these is yes, you may need to install a new set post haste. The same goes for your spare.

But how can one really know if tire service is necessary? Your owner's manual's tire replacement schedule is a good place to start to see if now's the right time.
