How do I know if I need new tires?
To determine if you need new tires, check for tread wear, visible damage, or irregularities in performance. If your tires are worn down to 2/32 of an inch or lower, it’s time for a replacement.
What This Means
When tires wear down, they lose traction, which can significantly affect your vehicle's handling and safety. A simple test is the penny test: insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head facing down. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, your tires are too worn and need replacing.
Why It Matters
Driving on worn tires can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and increased stopping distances, putting you and your passengers at risk. According to statistics, approximately 30% of vehicles on the road have tires that are worn out [Source], highlighting the importance of regular tire checks.
