The Penny Test Helps You Know Your Tire Tread Levels

October 20th, 2016 by

When it comes to enjoying lots of miles in a quality ride, any new Kia in Austin will do. As you drive miles after mile, you need to be aware of the tread on your tires. They can go a long time, but when you hit a certain point the tread might be to the point where you need new tires, and you can check tread levels easily by performing the penny test.

  • Take a penny and put it in between the tread of your tires with Abraham Lincoln’s head going down toward the tread
  • If Lincoln’s head disappears, that means your tread is good, and you are fine
  • If you are able to see all of Lincoln’s head, that means you are in need or some new tires

You can learn more with our service center here at Group 1 Kia South Austin, where our team can discuss tires and install a new set for you, at your convenience.
