How often should you check tire tread?

At least once a month, when you check pressure.

  1. Only after a flat
  2. At least once a month ✔
  3. Every five years

Why: NHTSA says check tread at least once a month while you check pressure. Worn tread slips more on wet or icy roads.

Huh, didn't know that: Replace tires at 2/32 inch, not when the cords show.
