First of all, do I need new tires? 

For the most enjoyable driving experience it's important to replace worn tires. Optimum traction helps provide responsive handling for a smooth, reliable ride. To determine when you should start shopping, follow these simple steps.

• First, test the tread. Pinch a Lincoln-head penny between your thumb and forefinger, so that the top of Lincoln's head is showing.

Penny test

• Place the top of Lincoln's head into one of the tire tread grooves – try to measure at the deepest point within the tread.
• If any part of Lincoln's head is obscured by the tread, your tires have enough tread. However, if you can see above Lincoln's head, you're ready for a new tire.
• You should always check your tires in several tread locations. Be sure to check the inner, outer, and middle grooves of each tire, as tires can wear differently on each side, due to improper wheel alignment and/or low inflation.

What should I consider?

Below are a few considerations that make choosing a tire simpler.

• Look for tires that excel in tests for braking, handling, and resistance to hydroplaning.
• Let treadwear, ride comfort, noise, and rolling resistance help narrow your choices. Goodyear's comparative tread-life tests demonstrate that a manufacturer's warranty doesn't always reflect how a tire will wear, but used as an estimate, it's an important piece to review.
• Choosing a vehicle tire depends on where you live, weather and terrain issues, what performance expectations you have, and what your vehicle requires.

Are Premium tires worth it?

Are premium tires worth the price? That depends on your expectations and lifestyle. Tires are designed to adapt and excel to a variety of conditions, but because there are so many variables how much you invest is proportional to the tire’s performance. No matter what kind of car you drive, it’s your tires that ultimately connect with the road and influence how well your vehicle starts, stops, and turns. Based on these realities, you can decide whether you should consider premium tires.

 What the heck do those numbers mean?

The numbers in the tire size refer to its width, aspect ratio, and wheel diameter. "205/55R16" means the tire is 205 mm wide, has an aspect ratio (that is, the width divided by the height) of 55%, and fits on a 16" rim.

Speed ratings are usually inserted before the "R." The most common speed ratings are HR (good for 130mph), VR (149 mph), and ZR (more than 149 mph).
