Let’s get you some new tires!

Cheapest tires in Racine

Is it time for new tires? Are you sure? Winter can be particularly harsh on your tread, and as much as it can be a pain in the neck – and the wallet – to replace a set of tires, it will save you a lot of trouble in the long run to take care of it before it becomes a bigger problem. Today we’ll tell you how to check your tire tread and where to get the cheapest tires in Racine – and we don’t mean “cheap” in the quality sense – We mean unbeatable prices!

Keep a close eye on your tread to make sure it’s not too low.

Alright, so step one is to check your tread. Perhaps you’ve heard of the Lincoln penny test. It’s the simplest and fastest way we know to check the tread on your tires if you’re not experienced enough to eyeball it. Take a penny and place it in your tires tread, with Lincoln’s head upside down and facing you. Sound crazy? Just wait! Now, look to see if you can see the top of his head or if the tread is covering part of it. See the whole thing. If it’s covered, so are you for the time being.

But what happens if you can see his entire head? That’s not the best news, as it means your tread is too low for safe driving and it’s probably time to replace the tires. We wish there were a quick fix, but even assuming you’ve been taking good care of your tires – keeping them clean, rotated regularly, and filled with the proper amount of air – the eventual wear-down is just an inevitable occurrence. The upside? We know where to get the best price in town on a new set.
