the life expectancy of most tires falls between 25,000 and
50,000 miles. That’s a big gap, and car owners can check
their vehicle manuals to see if their vehicle manufacturer
recommends a more specific replacement interval. It’s worth
noting that mileage is not the only barometer drivers should
use to determine if they need to buy new tires. The following
tips can help drivers determine if now is the time to outfit their
vehicle with new tires.
· Measure the tread. KBB notes that a tire assessment
should always include measuring the amount of remaining
tread. Drivers can do this on their own in various ways. One
method involves looking at the tread wear bars, which are
little bridges in the grooves between the ridges. If the bars
are even with the tread pattern, then the tire has very little
tread remaining and must be replaced. The penny or quarter
test is a popular way to determine if tires must be replaced.
Insert a penny or quarter into the center of the tread between
two ridges with Lincoln’s or Washington’s head facing you.
If you can see the very top of the head or the space above
the head, the tire must be replaced. If only a little bit of hair is
visible, then the tire is nearing its end. The tire has sufficient
remaining tread if the some of the forehead is concealed.
· Check for other signs of wear and tear. Little remaining
tread is not the only sign tires must be replaced. Tires with
cracked sidewalls, discoloration and/or bulging need to be
replaced.
· Confirm a larger issue isn’t lurking. Uneven wear on tires
is typically a byproduct of a larger issue. Though tires that
have worn unevenly will need to be replaced, replacing them
without correcting the larger issue will only lead to more un-
even wear on the new tires. That’s a costly mistake. KBB
notes that poor wheel alignment or suspension issues are
typically to blame for uneven wear. This issue can be fixed
and should be addressed prior to purchasing a new set of
tires.
Tires sometimes exhibit telltale signs that they need to be
replaced. Before buying replacement tires, drivers can in-
spect their existing ones and ask their mechanic to confirm
that a larger issue isn’t affecting their performance. www.jmcarpentryltd.com • Fredericksburg, Ohio 44627

Tips on How to

Write a Classified
Ad that SELLS!


Queen Ann King Bedroom Set. 2 Years
old in Excellent Condition. Asking
$750 OBO. Moving, must sell! Call
M-F, 9-5pm. 440-333-8989.


1. Use a KEYWORD. This immediately tells the reader
what it is you have to sell.
2. Make your decision CLEAR and FACTUAL. State
the year, make, model, color, size and tell what condi-
tion the item is in. Also state any special features.
3. State the PRICE. Successful classified advertisers
have learned that the price in an ad helps increase the
chances for results.
4. If there’s a genuine sense of URGENCY, say so. The
words “We’re Moving” or “Must Sell Fast” suggests that
readers respond immediately.
5. Include your PHONE NUMBER. Classifieds get
results fast and often generate immediate sales. If you
cannot be available to answer the phone at all times at
home, be sure to specify special calling times such as
“after 6PM” or “Before 11AM”, or provide a Cell phone
number where you can be reached not at home.
