How You Can Quickly Check on if Your Tires Should be Replaced
There are a variety of opinions on when a tire should be replaced, as with all things, but there are some generally accepted rules on the life of a tire. The simplest and quickest generally accepted way to estimate your tires’ life is to use a coin. You can quickly check this with a penny, the distance from the top of Abe’s head to the penny’s edge is 2/32 of an inch. 2/32 of an inch is the bare minimum tread that you can have on your tires and drive safely, and that is in ideal conditions. Any amount of rain or snow can overwhelm tires that are at 2/32 and cause you to lose traction, which is a risk for the driver of the cars as well as anyone else on the road. The ideal tread depth for a tire in good condition is 9/32 of an inch, this depth allows them to maintain traction in most any regular driving situation.
For a demonstration, you can also check your tread depth with a quarter as this video demonstrates . It is important to routinely check your tires tread depth so that you can keep tabs on their condition and so that you are not surprised at any point by a loss of traction due to tire wear. Tire performance on different surfaces can vary greatly based on the depth of the tread remaining on the tire and it is important to be prepared for driving situations like a snowy winter season.

Why Maintaining Your Tires is So Important
Any driver who has experienced a road-side flat knows how much trouble and how inconvenient they can be. What is more significant than the potential inconveniences of a flat tire caused by poor condition is the risk of a serious automotive accident because of unevenly worn tires or poor maintenance. Along with automotive safety concerns, proper maintenance also increases the life of the tires and their fuel economy performance, which saves you money through the life of the tires. Done Right Auto Repair provides a plethora of options for servicing and maintaining your vehicle’s tires including:
Tire Rotations – Rotating your tires to different positions around the vehicle allows them to wear more evenly than if they remained in the same position throughout their life and extend their useful life. Done Right Auto Repair technicians can assess your tires’ condition and evaluate the optimal rotation pattern.
