The Penny Test - Not A Good Test For Tire Tread

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

You've probably heard about the penny test used to tell when your tire tread is worn enough to need new tires. I was always told that you just put a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head pointing into the groove and if the top of his head was at or above the tread then it was time to replace the tires.

It turns out that that advice is dangerous. As you'll see in this video, once the penny test fails you are at the legal minimum for tread wear and are putting yourself in danger of losing control of your car.

The video is a bit long but it's worth watching to understand the details and they give you a new way to tell if your tires need replacing. I'll give you a hint, the new test is 25x better ;) And when you're ready to replace your old tires it's never been easier to discount tires online.
