So we all know that the Penny Test works on tires that you get from places that sell Wholesale Used Tires & regular Manufacturers .. right? If you don’t, just read the blog about it. Anyway, there’s something new called the “Quarter Test”. Let’s get a thorough explanation on all tests, shall we? 

The Original Penny Test 

–When you place your penny upside down on the tread of your tire, you have 2/32” of tread depth left.

–If you turn it around & the top of the Lincoln Memorial is covered, you have 6/32” of tread depth left. 

The Quarter Test

–Place a quarter upside down; just like you would the penny. If Washington’s head just so happens to always be covered by the tread, you have 4/32” of tread depth left. 

–So now if you don’t have a penny, you can use a Quarter; or vice versa.

Just like the Penny Test, it shouldn’t matter if you look at your Tires by Size , the Quarter Test should work (:

We all know it takes a while to break in the new tires that you bought from that Wholesale Used Tires place , so here are some steps to help guide you through what you need to do (:

1. Stay away from dirt roads, gravel roads, construction sites, etc.

2. Don’t accelerate too fast & don’t brake too hard.

3. Never go above 50 Miles Per Hour (I know the sign is Danish, but just bare with me).

4. Stay away from Automatic Car Washes.

Hopefully this has helped you .. somewhat. If anything, you can read this article: Break in Your New Tires & that should be more clear (:

If you happen to have Performance Tires on that fabulous little car of yours, you know that these brands of tires are becoming more & more popular everyday. The reason for this is because High-Performance Tires offer all of the benefits of All-Season Tires, as well as more.

Since Performance Tires are used on NASCAR vehicles, you know that they’re built to withstand some pretty intense conditions; wouldn’t you agree? High-Performance Tires have better traction & better handling. Say you install Performance Tires on your car, you’ll notice your treads will last longer & your brakes would respond faster & more accurately.

So as you can see, High Performance Tires are Specialty Tires that not only for those fancy NASCAR drivers, but also for your average sedan cruising down the road- which means you’ll most likely find them at Used Tire Shops or even a place that sells Wholesale Used Tires .

Learning something new everyday,
