Tire Inflation Inspection
Keeping your tires properly inflated is one of the easiest ways to
help maintain good gas mileage and extend the life of your tires. Check
your car's tire pressure at least once a month with a quality gauge,
that measures pressure in pounds-per square inch (psi). Three types of
tire pressure gauges are available at most auto parts stores: digital,
dial and pen/stick types. The digital and dial designs tend to be more
accurate and easier to read, although a good pen/stick gauge will do the
job as well. Pressure gauges built into air hoses at gas stations are
often abused and frequently inaccurate.
Recommended tire pressures are for cold tires. Therefore, tire pressure should be checked at ambient temperature before the vehicle has
been driven. Checking tire pressure on a car that has warm tires can
result in a pressure reading of up to 5 psi higher than the recommended
pressure. The recommended inflation pressures for your car's tires can
be found in the vehicle's owner's manual or on the tire information
decal attached to the driver's door jamb. On older cars the decal may be
in the glove box or inside the fuel filler door.

The difference between 4/32" and 2/32" of tread depth might not seem
like much, but based on research by the Tire Rack, America's largest independent tire tester the difference is significant. For example, a
pickup truck traveling at 70 miles per hour that passes the penny test can take up to 499.5 feet to stop on wet pavement . However, the same
truck has a stopping distance 122 feet shorter if it passes the quarter test instead. This is a 24 percent difference in stopping distance, and
the equivalent of six or more car lengths.
The Tire Rack also reported that tires passing the quarter test
exhibited better grip on the road under other driving conditions as well. Given these facts, AAA suggests you put that penny back in your
piggy bank and instead use a quarter to check tire wear and determine when it is time for replacement.

Tire Tread Inspection
Insert a quarter into a tread groove with the top of Washington's
head facing down. If the top of his head is not visible, your tires have
at least 4/32" of tread and are fine for continued use. If you can see
above the top of Washington's head, it is time to start shopping for new
tires. Take measurements in three locations across the tire's tread:
(1)outer edge, (2) center, and (3) inside edge.
The penny test is done in the same way, except that if you can see
above the top of Lincoln's head your tires have less than 2/32" of
tread, which is below the legal minimum and cause for immediate
replacement. Tires worn to this level will also have visible wear
indicators (thin bald strips) running from side to side across two or
more tread segments.

Tire Tread Inspection
Tires depend on good tread condition depth to maintain traction and
to shed water on wet roads. The tread should be checked at least once a
month for excessive and uneven wear. The most accurate tread depth
measurements are made with a simple tread depth gauge available at any
parts store. Or you can use the traditional quarter and penny tests.
