To check the tread depth of your tires, carry out the penny test. Hold a quarter or a penny in the tread depth gap and check to see if you can see the entire face of the President on the coin. If the face is visible, then it is a clear indication to change your tires. Tire tread depth should be maintained at 12/32-inches and 15/32-inches for heavy vehicles.
