wormhole

Do I need new tires. I couldn't remember the test that you can do with a coin let alone what type of coin it was. I used a nickel for comparsion and the current tires are yokohama geolanders AT

Mario Andretti says if you put a penny in upside down in the grooves and you can see the top of Lincolns head looking at it level across it's time to get new tires.

Thanks for the replies. I knew I needed to get tires down the road and I just wanted to see what you guys thought.

CLEANSR5

are you going to stick with the geolanders or get a new tire?

I've been happy with them and they done me good off-road. I've been following the nittro terragrappler (sp) vs bfg threads though.

In between various sections of tread you will find small bars that connect the tread here and there, those are called wear bars. When your tread gets low enough to be even with or almost even with those bars, that means, by manufacture specs you will not have adequate hydroplane resistance and all the tread left is harder and deemed insufficient for various things like cornering and hard braking etc...
