Tires . . .?

Mar 09, 2007 by Sweetpea | Posted in Safety

What tread [sic] is normal on a car? My front tires are 7/32 and my back tires are 9/32 . . . sorry, I know nothing about tires but when to buy them. I looked at both pairs (which I bought at different times) and they both seemed to have a reasonable amount of tread [sic] left . . . please help ^O^

Minimum tread is 3/32. If you take a penny and insert it into the tread. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head then the tires need to be replaced.

If tires are dryrotted but keeping pressure, is it safe to drive long distances?

My boyfriend's Jeep has dryrotted tires on it. From what a friend of mine told me. But, the tires are keeping the tire pressure. Would it be safe to travel long distances with the tires the way they are?

NO NO NO! Tires heat up as they run, as much as 80 degrees. A truck tire cant be retreaded after it is 5 years old, that is the reason. Even a tire 5 years old with 100% tread risks failure. Front tire blowouts can be deadly! A tire is one of the most important items on a vehicle, never take a chance. I is other's life and property at risk as well as yours!
Drive safely!
