The Penny Test Helps You Determine Tire Tread

When it comes to car care, there are plenty of things you can do to make sure you have a smooth ride in your Volkswagen. Tires with the right amount of tread give you that, and there’s a way that anyone can check whether or not you need to replace your current set, or you are good to go, using the penny test.

• Take a penny and put it in between the tread of your tires with Abraham Lincoln’s head going down toward the tread
• If Lincoln’s head disappears, that means your tread is good, and you are fine
• If you are able to see all of Lincoln’s head, that means you are in need or some new tires
