Saved VehiclesHave you wondered, “How do I check tire tread wear?” Many drivers have, and Flemington INFINITI has the answers. All that’s needed is a penny and a ruler, and you can quickly and easily check the tire tread depth right at home in Bensalem, PA. Learn more and contact our service center if you have any additional questions.
If you’re driving a new INFINITI vehicle or recently purchased new tires, the tread depth should be about 10/32 or 11/32 of an inch (about a third of an inch). Winter tires and tires designed for off-roading, as well as some pickup truck and SUV tires, may have deeper tread grooves.
Are the tires at 2/32 of an inch? If so, it’s time to replace your tires, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Proper tire tread depth is essential to safe driving in the Bridgewater and Princeton, NJ areas, and proper tire care also extends the life of your tires.
