Check your tread
Who says pennies aren’t useful? Put them to work by measuring your tire tread–here’s how:
- Grab a penny, “heads” side facing down
- Place it into your tire grooves
- If you can see the top of the head, it’s time to get new tires
Look for wear bars
Newer tires are designed with a wear indicator. You’ll notice a cross tire pattern form when the tires are worn to the specified safe level.
When you see this, it’s a clear sign that your tires should be replaced. Luckily, Jiffy Lube® carries the top tire brands and offers all the services needed to keep them in solid condition.
Other signs your tires have hit the end of the road include:
- Prominent wear on either edge of the tread
- Prominent wear in the middle of the tread
- Bubbles or bulges appearing
- Having to inflate your tires often
- Cracking along the sidewall
- Objects (screws, nails, etc.) piercing through the tire
