ABC News' Gio Benitez shows how dangerous low-tread tires can be and how you can use a quarter to make sure your tires are safe.

ALSO make sure your tiers are under 6 years, The tier starts to dry out and brake down even with perfect tread. You can tell this by the last numbers on your tire exp. 4018, Means it was made in the 40th week of 2018. when you buy new tires make sure they were made in the last year for sure.
Thx
Thank you!
i would say for the normal average car driver probably every 50 to 60K. All depends on the tire brand you chose to get. If you go on bumpy roads or mountains then its probably a lot less. And if your tire starts to lose tire pressure often then its time to change it out whenever you possibly can.

Dude no mention of DRY ROT? That is just as important!
Great video 👏
Hey I have question, which one of these tires have thinner wall, Kumho Crugen premium KL33 105T or Kumho Crugen HP71 105T and how can you tell?
No mention about dry rot or uneven tire wear
If you know that a HUGE STORM is coming to you...STAY HOME!!
That's what I do. I won't go out in this mess
When I was on the road a lot I would just pull off the road or exit the freeway during heavy rains. You're just asking for trouble driving through downpours.
They make the poor reporter stand outside in the wet and cold just for a demonstration that could have been easily done inside the studio.
We watched this in online class today
You watched a lesson about tires?
@@sidvacant9382 yeah for drivers ed class.
@@sidvacant9382 It could be an auto shop class. My school has one where you learn all about cars and actually get to work on them. It has a whole garage, auto body shop and everything!
Good advice
50,000 miles is too long to wait. Most tires on new cars can’t last more then 40,000 miles
My tires have a 110,000km warranty so idk if I should change them after the warranty ends or before
Safety always
What happened to the penny test?
Yup! I noticed the low thread of my tires today. I am going to need new tires in a month or two. If only tire prices weren't expensive, I would buy them now.
Same, I went to get my tires aired up and my front tires got low tread. The thing is though only the front 2 tires got low tread, my rear tires are almost as if they were brand new.
Look into rotating the tires. This evens out the wear of tire tread by moving the back tires to the front. Allows you to replace tires less often
Front tires wear out faster in front wheel drive cars
There is a wear bar in the tread of almost all tires now that's when they need replaced
see head....bad tread......I just made that up!......lol
You genie
what about off road tires?
What about people who dont have George Washington on their coin?
I heard u can try it with a penny
10 dec 2019 4:6 pm est:thanks
You can literally see it you don’t need a damn coin
The 4 number date on tires is the date made...the second 2 numbers is the year .make sure they are not over 10 years sin e made......2618...2018 would be the year the 26 is what week of that year they were made. I blew a rear tire on my dodge dually tore off finder,bent exhaust completely backwards and almost flipped pulling a trailer at 75mph
10 years is def pushing it I wouldn’t drive anything older than 5 especially in colder parts of the world
I just change my tires every 3-4 years. Never had a flat.
Tires last a much shorter time with electric cars because of the weight of the battery.
You're supposed to use a penny not a quarter....
Not anymore. Using a quarter is the current info. I thought it was a penny too.
@@skyexit4012 there's no current info....the measurements never changed. It's a penny or go buy a tire tread depth mic. These morons just got it wrong.
With a penny, it's too late and you're driving with dangerously worn tires... Using a quarter is a safer and more conservative approach.

New tires are fucking expensive though. Some people cant fucking afford it so they just say "Fuck it" and keep driving on the same tires
Jhonny Depps’s lawyer 😂
Me driving: Snow: hey you wanna drift Me: no Snow; to bad so sad
I don't believe that 50k - 60k, it depends on the tire types
Well...it dont matter if you can stick a silver dollar in there if the date is past 10 years...check the date on your tires. I had tires with full tread fail because they were made 11 years prior...
Some say 6 years max!
This male journalist is gorgeous
In my field of study, tyres will last around 2 laps
"We want to make sure his head is being cut off" 😨
Do you don't need a penny to see that your tires are warned Pretty obvious actually
Big Bang theory... Georgie Tyres...
Swear Americans don’t go through EVERYTHING in a driving lesson or test, in the uk tire tread depth is so important that if you see it balding the slightest, you get it changed or your car will be illegal to drive and you’ll get a ban for driving that vehicle
why single out Americans? Aren't you here watching this video as well? As if tire wear doesn't cause accidents in the UK. Gtfo.
😂😂😂 yes but u can have a 25 years old tyre😅
Whatever Geo!
no I wait until it lose air or flat dont fix it until it's broken also firestone good year sponsor ABC
Lol 😂
You clearly don’t understand cars.

Why does it seem like everyone on this show is unnaturally optimistic and happy? I guess I'm just too cynical. But again, they may be fakes, or they may love their jobs because they're no doubt making tons on money!
No one wants to see a sad-sack a-hole on TV? Might be it, lol
@@SamAndrew27 u didn' get the point
I agree, but that's society in general. We never show our true emotions to the public, only that which is socially desirable.
@@samiraa3671 Plus it's for the cameras. You're being broadcasted to the world. I doubt most people want to show their "true" emotions in that regard, you and me included.
So you want people on camera to act miserable, cry every 5 seconds, sulk around and act like the sky is falling all the damn time? Man you're weird. A bit deranged too. It's a frickin' news show tutorial on when to change your tires. Cool your jets a bit. Not everything is fake and not everyone is out to get ya. You are too cynical. Cynical and weird.
It's time for new tires when you get pulled over by the police for bald tires😊
I got 4 new tires on my vehicle from Mavis $400+ for all season tires.
For something that isn't too serious I suggest getting tires repaired instead of buying new, which in a way is environmentally friendly and also cheaper. But these are helpful tests!
Not everyone got the money to get new tires 🤦🏽♂️ don’t y’all think of that too or you guys don’t have a brain
Cheaper than an accident!
These guys don't know anything. Depending on the brand type, the tire will last.
