Car Tip of the Week: Check the tread on your tires using only a penny.



You can use nothing but a penny from your pocket to determine if the tires on your vehicle are both LEGAL and SAFE to drive on! Almost every state mandates that all passenger car tires meet a minimum tire tread depth of 2/32" measured from the top of the tread wear indicator to the top of the tread. You can locate the tread wear indicator as it appears in the tread grooves as a small bump. It just so happens that the lettering on a penny that is right over Abe Lincoln's head is exactly 2/32". If you place the penny on top of the tread wear indicator and the letters over Lincoln’s head are visible, that indicates your tires have inadequate tread and it’s time for a new set. The good news is that you used nothing but a penny to prevent a potentially devastating event and ensure the safety of yourself, as well as everyone else on the road around you.
