Every Driver Needs to Know About These Handy Car Hacks

Make Sure to Do the “Penny Test”

If you’ve paid a mechanic good money to check whether your tires are still fit for purpose, then you may have wasted your money. Checking the tread of your tire has never been easier to do at home, as all you need to help you is a penny! A penny can tell you whether your tires are worn or whether they’re still safe to drive, and whether it’s time to buy new tires.

Simply place the penny down into the tread of the tire, and see where Lincoln’s head is facing. If the tread doesn’t go over his forehead, it’s time to fork out on some new tires.
