When it comes to car maintenance, one of the most important things to keep in check is how much your tire tread depth is. Replacing your tires when necessary can help prevent accidents and help you drive your vehicle smoothly.Researchers conducted a study in which they stopped a vehicle that ran 60 mph. During the study trial, they experimented with cars that had either a 10/32-inch tread, 4/32-inch tread and 2/32-inch tread. This test concluded that the car with the 2/32-inch tread took longer to stop than the car with the 10/32-inch tread. The tire tread depth can make a huge difference when it comes to being involved in an accident. With a quicker response time, you're about to protect yourself. It's really in those seconds that can determine the outcome of an accident.If you're looking to go on a long trip or even a maintenance check, be sure to get your tires checked by our staff at Academy Ford Sales by scheduling an appointment.
