The Penny Test Helps You Know Your Tire Tread Levels

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
