Good call. It usually creates more problems and can degrade handling.

One more thing - don't let your tires get to the point where they don't have any tread left - it's too dangerous. Most have "wear bars" in the tread grooves that show minimum safe tread. I never even get there, and will replace a tire way before I hit minimum tread depth just for safety.

Tires normally should be replaced if they are more than 5 years old, even if they have plenty of tread.
