I learned this tip in school today. I thought it was interesting so I decided to share it with you. The minimum sp
ecification for tire tread is 3/32 of an inch. I don't expect anyone to go and take a ruler to their tires. So if you are not sure if the tread (grooves) on your tires are starting to wear too much all you need to check it is a Penny. Just take a Penny, and turn it so that Abraham's head is upside down and facing you (the space between the top of the Penny to the top of his head is 3/32 of an inch), and stand up the coin in the tread. If you can Not see the top of his head, because the tread is covering it, then the tire is fine, but if you Can see the top of his head then you might want to consider looking into a new tire(s), all depending on how much of his head you can see. If it is just barely showing then you might have a little life left but if a considerable amount is showing, then like I said, you might want to buy a new tire or tires (you should check all the tires).
