Let's be honest folks, when it comes to car maintenance, most people don't think about where the rubber meets the road. But the fact of the matter is that tires are easily one of the most important components of your vehicle, and their upkeep impacts everything from your vehicle's fuel efficiency to its safety. Despite that fact, many people don't know how to assess the wear of their tires. Fortunately, there's a quick and easy way to do so at home, and the only tool you'll need is a penny.
To check your tires tread, simply insert the penny upside down with Lincoln's head facing downward into the well of your tire's tread. Ideally, your tire's tread should cover up to Lincoln's hairline. A little less is fine, but if you can see Lincoln's full head, it could mean you're due for a new set of tires. It's also important to test the tire's tread depth in a number of different places on all your tires, as uneven wear can mean your wheels are out of alignment, over-inflated, or under-inflated.
