Smart Tire Buying:
Learn How To Find Tires

Know When You Need New Tires

A simple penny test every 3,000 miles can help you easily determine when you need new tires.

• Insert a penny into your tire's tread groove
• The penny should be upside down with Lincoln facing you
• If you can see all of Lincoln's head, you need new tires
• If you have questions or need help, find a retailer

Know Your Tire Size

The easiest way to determine what tire size you need is to look at the sidewall of your current tires. Once you know your tire size, type it into the Kelly Tire Finder located to the right to answer the question, "what tires should I buy?"

Know Your Vehicle And Driving Conditions

You can browse tires in the Kelly Tire Finder located to the right by choosing the type of vehicle you drive.
