Tires that are in good condition are crucial for safe driving and handling. Over time, tires can wear down due to friction and weather, increasing the chances of poor traction and blowouts. If your tires are worn, you should visit your Chevy or CDJR stores to buy new ones.

Shallow Tread

Tires with a tread depth below 1.6mm, or 2/32 inches, are unsafe to drive. An easy way to check is the penny test: insert a penny into the tread groove with Lincoln’s head facing down. If you see the top of his head, your tread is dangerously shallow.

Driving with a shallow tread greatly reduces traction and handling, especially in wet conditions or emergency maneuvers. Replace the bald or low-tread tires to increase safety and enhance the driving experience.
