The Penny Test

Did you know that each of your tires will wear differently depending on the position of the tire? Therefore, to keep the wear on your tires even, it is essential to rotate your tires according to your manufacturer’s recommendations.
 
Replacing worn out and unsafe tires is also vitally important to the safety of your vehicle. “The penny trick” is a simple guide you can use when checking the wear on your tires.
 
Simply:
  1. Insert a penny into the tread groove with Abe Lincoln’s head upside down and so you can see Lincoln’s face.
  2. If all of Lincoln’s head is visible, then it is time to replace your tires.
