Lincoln Penny Tread Depth Test

Home » Auto Tips » Lincoln Penny Tread Depth Test

Trying to figure out if your vehicle needs new tires?

Have you noticed during the recent snow storms your vehicle slipping or not grabbing the road as well as it did before? It may be time for new tires and here’s a quick tip on how to check:

1. Grab a penny
2. Insert the penny into the tread so Lincoln’s head is down and facing out to you
3. If Lincoln’s head is showing, it’s time for new tires

Be sure to visit Ming’s Auto Repair for your new tire purchase and our special offer of free tire rotation for the life of the tires.
