Tread depth is another important factor for tire maintenance for your automobile or truck. Tires should have minimum tread depth of 1/16th of an inch. A quick easy way to test depth is the “penny test”. Place a penny within the tire’s treads and check to see if Lincoln’s head is visible. If Lincoln’s entire head is visible, then it is time to replace the tire.
