When you’re commuting around the Fort Myers, Venice, and North Port, Florida, area, it’s important to keep on top of all your routine maintenance needs, so your vehicle can stay healthy and in great condition. One job that’s easy to do on your own is checking your tire tread.
Here at Norm Reeves Honda Superstore Port Charlotte, we’re dedicated to helping you keep your vehicle running smoothly for years to come. That’s why we created this handy breakdown on how to check your tire tread and have even provided you with a service center to help you with all your tire rotations, repair, and replacement needs!
Your tire tread is one of the main components that helps you maintain traction and stability control.
The tread depth of a new tire is about 10/32″ to 11/32″, but over time, that will wear down, which makes your vehicle more prone to slipping and sliding.
To check your tire tread, you’re not going to need any fancy tools or equipment. All you’ll need is a coin.
The tire tread penny test is pretty simple. All you’re going to need to do is insert the penny head-down in the groove of your tire. If the top of the head is covered, you’re good to go, but if you can see the entire top of Lincoln’s head, then it’s time to bring your car to the shop for some new wheels.
Now that you know how to check your tire tread, you’re going to need to know where to head for all your tire maintenance needs when the time comes for any repairs or replacements.
Luckily, the highly trained technicians over in our service center are available to help you with just that. They’ll sit down with you and discuss what kind of tires you’re looking for. If you crave off-roading adventure, we’ll be sure to talk to you about our all-terrain tires. Need something for advanced stability during those Florida thunder storms? Then we’ll match you with our all-season tires.
