Q. How do I know I need new tires?

A. Many tires have tread wear indicator bars molded into the tread. When the tread is worn down to where you can see a solid bar of rubber across the width of the tread, it is time to replace the tire. Here's another simple test you can perform to measure tread depth on your tires. Place a penny into a tread groove with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, it's time to visit us.

Q. How do I read a tire size?

Aspect Ratio: Ratio of the height of the tire’s cross-section to its width. 70 means that the height is equal to 70% of the tire’s width.
Construction: How the tire is put together. R= Radial: The layers of fabric that make up the body of the tire run radially across.

 
Diameter: Width of the wheel from one end to the other.

Load Index: Max load (in pounds) that can be supported when properly inflated.

Speed Rating: Max service speed for a tire. H=130 Mph, Q=99 Mph, S=112 Mph, T=118 Mph, U=124 Mph, V=130+ Mph, Z=149+ Mph.
