How To Keep Your Car Looking Good And Running Well For As Long As Possible

Check Your Tire Tread with a Penny

The penny test is a quick and easy way to check your tire tread depth and make sure your tires are safe to drive on. It’s a great tip to follow, especially if you’re unsure about the condition of your tires. When performing the penny test, make sure to use a penny with Lincoln’s head facing downwards. Insert the penny into the tread groove of the tire, with the top of Lincoln’s head pointing towards the tire. If the tread is deep enough that you can’t see the top of his head, then your tires still have enough tread depth and are safe to use.
