Time for Tire Replacement

Tires become old and worn down, even the highest quality tire needs to be replaced eventually. When tires are worn down to 2/32nds it is time for new tires. A trick to tell when the tread depth has reached that point is to insert a quarter upside down in the tread; if you can see the top of Washington's head, the tire needs to be replaced.

Driving becomes dangerous when the tread wears down and can especially impact driving during inclement weather. Schedule an appointment with Audi Minneapolis and we'll take a look at your tires!

Tire Rotations and Maintenance

Help maintain the lifespan of your tires by receiving a routine tire rotation every six months or 5,000 miles. Getting a regular tire rotation will not only help your tires last longer but also help maintain your Audi's overall performance. Depending on your driving habits and lifestyle demands, regularly rotated tires should last up to 6 months before needing to be changed. At this point, changing your tires will help you maintain your vehicle's lifespan and greatly reduce potentially avoidable hazards.

Use a coin as a tread depth gauge; insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head down. If the top of Abe’s head touches the tread face, your tires are at 2/32” depth, the minimum required by law, and it’s time for a replacement. Now try the test again with a quarter. Does the tread reach Washington’s head? If so, your tread depth is 4/32”. One more time with the penny - if the tread reaches the Lincoln memorial, your tread depth is 6/32”.
