WHY CHECK YOUR TIRE THREAD REGULARLY FOR WEAR AND TEAR?
Heat Build-up Punctures Hydroplaning
Airflow is needed between the road and the tire to keep the tires from getting too hot Less tread means more heat which can cause major tire damage.
Since the tread protects the tire from punctures, worn out tread greatly increases the chance of a puncture and potential blowout.
Tire tread funnels water our from under the tire tread increases the risk of hydroplaning.
HOW TO CHECK THE CONDITION OF YOUR TIRES AT HOME
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR THREAD DEPTH
Use a tire pressure guage to check your tires when your vehicle has been parked for at least three hours, or when the tires are cold.
Tire tread is too low if it is 3/32 of an inch or less. Many tires have wear bars in the grooves of the tread that, when visible, indicate that the tread is too low. You can also check the tread depth with a penny, by placing it in the groove of the tread with Lincoln's head facing downward. If any part of his head is not covered by the tread, the tires need to be replaced.
