When is a good time to change your tires? i have about 35,000 miles on my car? and how about your brakes?

Check your tread by taking a penny and pointing the top of Abe's head into the tread. If the top of his head goes into the tread the tire still has safe wear left on it. If you can see the top of his head you don't have enough tread to addequately grip, especially in wet conditions. I like to replace them before that point as our roads are curvy and mountainous so it is easy to hydroplane if the road is wet. Lastly, most of the more expensive tires have marks made into the tread that look like little holes or slits. When the tread wears down to where these aren't noticable anymore, it's time to get new ones.
