Not sure if this is the right place to put this... but I have a question:

How much tread would you say is left on these tires? Thanks.

 

Another pic.

 

well... cant really tell from the pictures, maybe someone else can, but they look like they have enough to last u awhile if u dont tear around

 

Yeah, sorry the pictures are so bad. Maybe when it stops raining I can get some better ones.

 

i believe if you take a penny and hold it upside down inside the tread. if you can see the face, then its time for new tires.

 

Oooh, that's a really snazzy test...

 

4/32 at the tread wear indicators is the legal minimum in NJ

food for thought

 

aka 1/8th

 

lol, Trans_AM_88 - so math savvy.

Well, I did the penny face test on the new tires and I can see face. But then I went out to my car and performed the same test and guess what - I can see almost ALL of Lincoln on my front tires! So these 'new' tires are better than the front two on my car. The back ones are newer and are no-face.

 

if you look in the grooves between the treads, you will see little bumps in the rubber. These are about 2/32nds on an inch in height and indicate the lowest that the tread should be worn to. If your treads are worn almost down to the height of these bumps, it's time for new tires. Be sure to check in every tread gap because the tire may be worn more in one area than another. This is a good trick I learned when i worked at a tire shop for a few years :-). you can also pick up a tread gage for really cheap at the counter or most auto parts stores.

 

looks like u still got a good amount of tread there. a good hint to needing new tires is when u are sliding around in the rain

 

lol, thanks for the tip 89cmrodriver. The car's riding fine on the tires I have on her already, 2 of which are worse than the one in the picture in this post, so it's all good.

 

i drive my tires till the flat part of the tire and the tread about almost the same. then its time for new ones.
