When Should I Replace My Jaguar Tires?

How to Determine Tire Tread Depth
Make sure you take your Jaguar to an expertly trained service technician to confirm your tread depth is safe for driving in and around Chicagoland. A simple way for you to check at home, however, is with a penny. Turn the penny so Lincoln’s head is face down and put it into the tire tread. If his head is the same as the tire tread then you ought to start looking to replace your tires.
What Tire Tread Depth Means
The grooves in car tire’s tread are designed to expel elements on the road, such as water, away from the tire so the tire can remain in contact with the road providing good traction. Tires become unsafe when they’re worn, and once the tread is down to 3/32 of an inch, the tire is no longer safe.
