Making sure that your precious vehicle’s tires are in a safe and functional condition is vital to driving responsibly on Rochester, IN streets. Two factors that contribute to whether a tire needs maintenance are pressure and tread. Thankfully, though, both of these can be checked at home by drivers.
When it comes to air pressure, you can use an inexpensive gauge to make sure that the tires you are using are inflated to the stated PSI in your specific vehicle's owner’s manual. Afterward, you can rest assured that your tires’ inflation levels will not cause them to perform inadequately.
Coins can be used by vehicle owners in order to check tread depth. A popular method is to put an American penny into a tire’s tread facedown. If the top portion of President Abraham Lincoln’s head is still visible, this indicates an insufficient 2/32” tread, which will require replacement tires.
