Check Your Car Tire Wear

Abe Lincoln talks to your car's tires.
Your car tires are the only thing keeping your car on the road,
so making sure you have enough tread depth to drive safely in
any conditions should be a top priority. Hydroplaning in the
rain is caused by a worn car tire's inability to cut through the
water and touch the road, causing your car to "float" across
the street's surface. The more tread on your tires, the less
likely you will hydroplane. The same goes for driving in the
snow.
The "Abe Lincoln" car tire test is an old one, but it's still the
quickest and cheapest way to check the condition of your tires.
Take a penny and stick Honest Abe's head into the groove of
your tire. If it sinks in up to his hairline, you're a-ok. If not,
you should consider getting new tires sometime soon.
