you put the penny in the grooves of the tread with the top of Lincolns head in the tread if all of his head sticks out your tire needs to be replaced. check the edges and the middle of the tread be especially careful to check the inside edge because it is harder to see.

Um I think it's like put the penny in the grooves of the tire and if the tread doesn't at least reach the top of the head on the penny then you need new tires, but I'm not sure if it was a penny or a quarter. I think a Quarter though. Check on it!

You put the penny head first into the tread of the tire. If the tread goes over the head then your tread is fine. You should check the edge of the tire not the middle.

You give the penny to the tire repair guy as a monetary exchange to look at your tire. However, you may need more than one penny!

there is also a guage that maximum each and every tire save might want to have which will do an same difficulty yet extra accuratly. in reality you're searching to adhere the pinnacle contained in the tire tread - look at it element and see in case you will see that lincolns head - if so - time for brand spanking new tire(s) minimum tread you want is about: 3/32"
