Whether you visit MotorWorld Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM and buy a Jeep® Grand Cherokee or a 2016 Dodge Dart near Hazleton, PA, one thing is for sure: you can ensure a fantastic driving experience by taking care of your tires. Tires are the only part of an automobile that are in constant contact with the road, and as such you’ll want to monitor them regularly and get them checked periodically by our expert service team.
Two numbers to keep in mind are 40,000 and 6,000. 40,000 is the number of miles that most tires last, though factors like weather, road conditions, tire type, and driving habits can see this number increase or decrease slightly. 6,000 is the number of miles at which you should have your tires rotated. This is a task that can be quickly addressed at our Wilkes-Barre, PA Chrysler dealership.
As you close in on 40,000 miles, there’s a simple test you can do yourself to check the tread wear on your tires. It’s called the penny test, and all you need is one penny and a minute of your time. What you do is stick the penny upside-down between two of the most-worn tire tread ridges. If the tread still covers any part of Abe Lincoln’s head, then the tire is still good to drive on. However, if Abe’s head is fully exposed, it’s time for a new tire. Apply this test to all four tires for a complete overview.
