For your safety, it is imperative not to drive around with tires that have less than 2/32-inches of tread depth (often considered as “bald”). Standard tires get found at a tread depth of 10/32-inches. However, when it drops to 4/32-inches, you should start planning for its replacement to reduce the probability of having an accident.
At Mercedes-Benz of Santa Fe, we have drivers covered. Our mechanics are readily available whenever needed to replace your vehicle’s tires. We can also educate all motorists about mechanisms that are put in place to check for the depth of tire treads. Some of these ways are as follows:
• Quarter Test.
• Penny Test.
• Using Tread-Depth-Indicators that are built-in.
• The Depth Gauge.
Visit our mechanics today for elaboration on how the above tire tread measurement techniques work. This will put you and your family in a safer position as you will be less susceptible to tire-related car accidents. Make an appointment today!
