Knowing When to Replace Your Vehicle Tires

• The Penny Test
• For this process, you will have to insert a penny
  into the most shallow tread groove of the tire.
  Make sure the penny is in a downward facing
  position. If the top of the head is still
  visible, then you need to replace the tires as
  soon as possible.

• Take a closer look at your tire and youll see
  narrow bands. These bands appear in the groove
  across the tread of a tire otherwise known as
  wear indicators. If these indicators are even
  with the tires tread, then it means youve gone
  past the limits of the tire treads hence its
  time to get a new one.
• Do I Need to Replace Worn Tire
• Yes, it must be replaced. Many drivers have been
  penalized severely for driving on worn out, used
  tires and you dont want to dance to the rhythms
  of the law. The legal minimum for tire tread
  depth is 2/32 inch. As a matter of fact, driving
  on worn tires endangers your life so why risk it.
  If you discover that your tires are worn out, do

  while and then inflate and mount the tire back on
  the vehicle.

Why You Should Never Drive on a Flat Tire

• Avoid driving on a flat tire. Once the tire goes
  flat it should be immediately replaced to avoid
  damage to the rim. But in some cases, exceptions
  could be made in situations where the tire could
  go flat in areas that are too dangerous to park
  and replace. In addition, one rarely anticipate a
  flat tire while driving considering the fact that
  it often takes less than a minute for a tire to
  go completely flat especially when it gets
  punctured by nails or other sharp objects while
  in motion
• Its also very important to always be cautious of
  the state of your vehicle tires before driving
  out of the garage. While driving, stay conscious
  and alert. This will put you in the perfect state
  of mind to control your wheels should your tires
  suddenly go flat while speeding.
