Special
attention should be paid to the tread on your tires, especially this time of
year. Your vehicle cannot properly grip the road without sufficient tread on
the tire. Insufficient tread can lead to major safety issues. Just follow these
three easy tips to determine if your tires need to be replaced. All you need is
a penny!
1. Insert
good ole Abe’s head in to the tread in a couple different spots on the tire. If
the entire top of Abe’s head is showing then your tread is less than 1/16th
of an inch deep and needs to be replaced.
2. Any
tread below 2/32 of an inch should be replaced.
3. All
tires have "wear bars," which are small, raised bars of rubber in the
groove that indicate when tires are worn out. If your tread is worn down to the
wear bars, it's time for a new tire.
