We tested the effect worn tires have on stopping distance.
When the driver accelerated to 60 miles per hour, watch what happened when he tried to stop. While your actual distances may vary, it took him nearly 10 additional car lengths to stop on worn tires.
So, when will you stop? Ask about our complimentary tire inspections.
