Checking Tire Pressure:
- Check sticker on inside of the driver's side door for the proper tire pressure.
- A tire gauge is necessary to ensure that pressure is correct.
- Remove caps on valves and attach tire gauge until the pressure can be read.
- Replace caps to prevent debris from disturbing the valve.
Checking for Wear:
- A simple penny can be used to test for excessive wear on your tread.
- Place the penny with Lincoln's head down in-between the tread, if the top of his head is visible the tread is worn, if his head is covered by the tread surface, you're OK.
- To measure with a ruler the tread depth should be at least 3/32 of an inch.
- Visually inspect for cuts or scrapes on the sides of the tire which can be very dangerous.
- Under-inflated or over-inflated tires will cause uneven wear on your tires.
