Put one upside down in your tire’s tread grooves. Put a penny in several locations since your tires may display inconsistent wear patterns that lead to premature wear. It’s a smart idea to inspect your four primary tires and spare tire once a month. If Lincoln’s hair is visible, the tread has worn to less than 2/32 of an inch. Use a tire depth gauge to give you a better indicator of how much tread you have left. It is strongly recommended that you replace your tires when the tread has worn to between 2/32 or an inch and 4/32 (using a quarter instead of a penny with Washington’s scalp visible). Punctures, cuts or snags in your tire tread or sidewall could also signal that it’s time to replace. The more tread on your tires, the more control you’ll have – especially in wet road conditions – and the shorter the distance required to stop your vehicle when braking. Need advice about whether it’s time to replace your tires? The factory-trained experts at your local Quick Lane® are Ready to ServeTM Spotting uneven and irregular tire wear patterns. With regular driving, tires inevitably wear out. But some types of wear are premature and the result of improper tire inflation and external factors. Your Quick Lane expert can point out any unusual wear patterns on your tires and show you how to how to fix the problem. ![]() ![]() Out of alignment – thin inner or outer edgeCamber Wear Out of alignment – exaggerated inner or outer edge wear ![]() ![]() Overinflation – thin tread wear in center of tireEdge Wear Under-inflation – thin tread wear along tire edges How to Choose the Right Tires You can find the tire size information for your vehicle in your owner’s manual or on the driver’s side doorjamb. This information pertains to the original equipment (OE) tires. Make sure that your tires are the correct size(s) and have the proper speed rating (or higher) and load-carrying capacity. Only use the tire combinations outlined in the owner’s manual. Important: Your auto manufacturer suggests you equip your vehicle with the same type of tires and tread design as were originally equipped on your vehicle. Types of Tires ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Rotating Your Tire In addition to making sure your tires are properly inflated at the recommended levels, rotating your tires can help you get the most miles out of them by distributing wear more evenly. While rotating the tires, any unusual tire wear patterns can be exposed, indicating premature tire wear and external factors. Related components such as brakes, suspension and steering parts can also be examined for needed maintenance or repair. Consult your owner’s manual for frequency and tire rotation patterns. To make sure you are rotating your tires at the right time in their life cycles, ask an expert at your local Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center to inspect your tires. No appointment necessary. Proper Tire Air Pressure![]() ![]() ![]() The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test track. A tire graded 200 would wear twice as long on the government test course under specified test conditions as one graded 100. Tread wear grades cannot be used to project tire mileage since there are a number of variables that affect wear – driving habits, service practices, differences in road characteristics and climate. Traction Traction grades – AA, A, B and C – go from highest to lowest. They represent the tires’ ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. The testing does not take into account cornering, hydroplaning or acceleration. Temperature The temperature grades – A, B and C – go from highest to lowest, and represent the tires’ resistance to the generation of heat. While the ratings are established by NHTSA, the tire manufacturers and independent testing companies perform the actual validation testing. There can be some inconsistencies in testing and results. ![]() ![]() What does it mean? P N would be for a spare tire. 215 R 95 H M+S |
