How to tell when it's Time to Replace Your old Tires
- Tires become unsafe when they're worn, and once the tread is down to 1/16th of an inch (1.6mm), the tire is no longer safe.
- Look at the tread pattern. All tires have what are called "tread wear bars". These are small bridges that form between your treads. As the tires wear, these bars will become flush (level or even) with the tire's tread. At this point, it's time to replace the tires.
- Check your tire tread by using the "penny test." Take a penny, and place it upside down with Lincoln facing you in the center of the tread (at the thickest part of the tire). If you can see the very top of Lincoln's head or the copper above it, replace the tires immediately. If Lincoln's hair on the top of his head is partially visible, it is time to get some new tires in Burke, VA.
