Check Your Tire Wear by Using the Penny Test

Here in Tulsa, we want everyone to be safe on the road, and have well-maintained vehicles. That’s why at South Pointe Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM, our team is always looking out for you, and providing you with ways to do be safe. One thing everyone should know is how to check their tire tread and wear, and it’s actually quite simple. All you need is a penny, as it helps you perform a quick test to determine if you need a new set of tires or not.

• Take a penny and put it in between the tread of your tires with Abraham Lincoln’s head going down toward the tread
• If Lincoln’s head disappears, that means your tread is good, and you are fine
• If you are able to see all of Lincoln’s head, that means you are in need or some new tires

For those that do happen to need new tires, our service center would be happy to help you. We will be able to determine the best set for you, and install them at your convenience, so contact us or schedule a service appointment with us today!
