Your vehicle's tires are in constant contact with the road, and because of that, they have to be replaced at regular intervals. Performing regular inspections of you tires, especially as they age, can help you catch telltale signs that indicate a new set is in your future. Here is what every driver should look for.
Never let the tread fall below 1/16 of an inch. Use the penny test to determine if you have enough tread. If you insert a penny with Lincoln's head down and his entire head is visible, you don't have sufficient tread. Newer tires also have a tread indicator bar that begins to show as tread decreases. Having to frequently fill your tires with air is another sign.
