How to Check Your Tire Tread

Rodney Brown, Director of Operations at Jiffy Lube of Indiana, shares some warning signs that your tires need to be replaced. There is 1/16 inch between the edge of a penny and the top of Lincoln’s head. Stick an upside-down penny into your tire grooves. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, your tires likely need to be replaced. There are also special tread depth gauges you can purchase and use to measure your treads. Alternatively, visit any of our locations and we can check them for you. Here are some additional inspections you can do on your tires at home.
