Car tyres are very important, as the braking distance depends very much on their appropriate choice and quality. A few meters can sometimes make the difference between killing or not killing somebody, especially in winter, when roads are snowy or wet.
One important issue is to know when it is time to change your tyres. Michelin has a guide on how to check the tyres to determine if they need replacement. One of the most interesting tricks shared by Michelin is “The Penny Trick”: place a penny into the most shallow tread groove with Lincoln’s head down. If the top of his head remains visible, then the tire should be replaced.
