After the rough winter we just went through, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s tires took a real beating. Driving in snow, rain, and ice do a great deal of damage to your vehicle’s tires.

The Penny Test
If you’re wondering whether or not you need new tires in NH, there’s a simple, “Penny Test,” that you can perform on your vehicle’s tires that will make it easier to find out. The Penny Test allows you to check your tires’ tread depth in order to make sure that they’re performing at their best. You simply take a common penny and, with Lincoln’s head turned upside down, place it between your tire’s tread blocks. If you’re unable to see the top of Lincoln’s head and it is “buried” between the tread blocks, this means that you still have more than 2/32 of an inch tread remaining and your tires are in decent shape.
However, if you can still see the top of Lincoln’s head, then it is time to get new tires in NH. This means that your tread depth is simply not deep enough and that your vehicle won’t perform at its best and safest. Performing this Penny Test is a simple and effective way of telling how worn your tires really are. Try it for yourself and remember that Gurney’s Automotive makes shopping for new tires an easy and affordable way to ensure your vehicle’s safety.
