Make Sure to Do the “Penny Test”
If you’ve spent money on a mechanic just to check the condition of your tires, that expenditure might have been unnecessary. Assessing your tire tread depth is straightforward and can easily be done at home with just a penny! This simple method can reveal whether your tires are excessively worn or if they remain safe for driving, helping you decide if it’s time for a replacement.
Insert a penny into the tire tread with Lincoln’s head facing down. If the tread does not cover his forehead, it indicates the need for new tires.
