Use this simple test to tell if you need new tires. Take a regular penny (with today’s deeper treads, some are saying to use a quarter as opposed to a penny), and place it in between the grooves on the top of the tire (shown to the right). If you can see the top of Abraham Lincoln’s head, you probably need new tires.

If you notice you are wearing through tires quickly, you may want to take some precautions.  Make sure you check tire air pressure often and if you hit a large bump in the road or a curb, get your tires aligned right away.

If that’s the case, Country Road Auto can easily help you select from all the major brands of tires like BFGoodrich, Toyo, Dunlop, Firestone, Goodyear and Michelin to name just a few. Check out more information here.
