Best tire check video. Straight to the point with many examples.

Super helpful tips for me. Being a female walking into a auto shop they tend to tell you to get stuff done that may not always be needed! Thank you so much!

[kristenb]

Such a clear, concise explanation. Thank you!

[TrustGod_]

This was very helpful! Thanks for including the information about how improper tire inflation causes uneven wear.

[kykypenn]

So you measure the middle and outer blocks vs the grooves?

1A is A1. Clear instructional. Thanks!

At 5/32 on a sports car especially one's that have wide tires such as 245/45/20 it's pretty much time to replace them as these wide tires can't displace heavy rain quick enough.

Great video. How about a video of doing al 4 on one car? One with tires ever being rotated?

[jamesscimone]

It's funny... people here say this was clear and concise.... I have to disagree. The guy never said what is an acceptable depth with the penny and when should they be replaced... Ha ha... Perfect. Thanks.

Hello, what is the average tire replacement cost because some shops tried to make me pay $780-$800 for tires and I thought it was a little too much

[bjjgo]

So is it safe to drive with tires 4/32 to 3/32 and change it once it gets to 2/32?

[finestoffreedom]

So I have a question are 285 and 275 inter changeable I have aftermarket 20in rims

[DonBarker]

What about all the different types of tires, the MT, AT, AS,

[quiroz]

How come every digital Measure gives different readings

[NewYorksFinest]

is there a difference between 205/60R16 92H and 205/60R16 91H besides price?

[xHadesStamps]

If the tires see snow or light flooding, I would recommend replacing at 4/32”, or about the edge of George Washington’s head on a quarter. If they only ever see rain that doesn’t cause flooding at all, 2/32” is acceptable

Thank you! Shalom and bless you in the Name of Jesus.
