IT COSTS ONE CENT TO SEE IF YOU NEED NEW TIRES

Developer Autoshop • September 29, 2011

As the weather turns colder, we start fielding calls from people who are concerned about their tires. Because tires wear out so gradually, it’s hard to tell when they actually should be replaced. We’ve got a little trick for you that will help you determine if you’ve got enough tread.

Simply take a penny and hold it by the bottom with Abe’s head pointed up. Then stick Abe’s head down into the tread of your tire. If ANY of Abe’s head is obscured by the tread wall, then you’ve got enough tread on your tires. If none of Abe’s head disappears, it’s time to start pricing new tires.

And, don’t forget, just because it doesn’t say “Tires” in our name, we can get you tires just like all the other guys. We’ll give you several options to choose from based on your budget and how you drive your vehicle. So when you need tires, “Take It 2 The House.”.
