How can I tell if it’s time for new tires? This is a question Westboro Toyota’s experienced service technicians are happy to answer for our valued customers.
Believe it or not, Abe Lincoln’s got something to do with it! Yup, take a penny to help gauge tire tread depth. Turn that penny upside down—and if you can see the top of President Lincoln’s head—the tread may not be safe. Better yet, and nothing against good ’ol Honest Abe, but we recommend booking an appointment with Westboro Toyota so we can check your tire tread and depth.
Next up, it’s time to look at the tread grooves. Each groove’s got several spots higher than the rest of the groove. It’s a slight difference in depth—about 2/23 of an inch, but what you’re looking for is where there’s a gap between those spots and the rest of the tire’s groove.
Watch out for a tire’s cup that’s runneth over! Cupping occurs when the tire wears faster than normal. Perhaps one section of the tire is more worn than others. Watch for bulges, which can be a sign that there’s internal trouble with the tire structure. Also, if you see threads or wire mesh, come in today. This could be a serious, dangerous situation that requires immediate attention.
