Tire Wear & Damage

Tire Wear & Damage

If Your Tire is Worn Penny Test on Michelin tire.

There are several ways to check for wear: You can either look for visible, excessive wear (and determine the issue by using our Tire Inspector Tool), you can perform the Penny Test to check proper tread depth, or you can check if the tread is worn down to the wear bar indicators (typically located in the circumferential grooves of the tread). On MICHELIN tires, you can find the location of the wear bar indicators around the tire by looking for a small Michelin Man at the edge of the tread.

If Your Tire is Damaged 

If you find any tire damage, you may be able to determine the damage results by clicking here, but be sure to ask an authorized tire retailer to inspect your tire. Why? Because your tire could have unseen damage on the inside. 

 

To find the perfect new tire for your vehicle, use our handy Tire Selector tool.

Although not available online, we may be able to help you find a tire that fits your selection.

Please tell us the year, make and model of the vehicle for which you would like a tire recommendation. Also please let us know which tire features are important to you. Finally, let us know the area of the country where you do most of your driving. This way, we can provide you with our best recommendation.

  • You need to know your vehicle's options to find out the original size of the tires for your vehicle because automobile manufacturers often use different wheel and tire sizes for different variations of a specific vehicle. If you do not know your vehicle's options, check one of these places: 1. The original sales invoice or window sticker when you bought the vehicle. 2. Your vehicle's Owner's Manual, which will sometimes identify your vehicle's options. 3. Look on the vehicle itself. Some vehicles have a decal or lettering that indicates the options located on the side or rear of the vehicle.

  • Your vehicle was manufactured with multiple tire sizes. Please select your size.

    Knowing your tire size can help save time at the tire retailer. It also enables you to make an informed tire purchase. You can find your vehicle's original equipment tire size in one of the following places: 1. On the tire placard located on the driver's door jamb 2. In your owners manual 3. On glove compartment door 4. Inside the fuel hatch or trunk lid You can also check your existing tire's designation on the sidewall. However, there is no guarantee that these are the original tire size unless they came on the vehicle new. Note: Tire Size Image. Show sidewall and tire placard. Example below from UK.

  • Find the exact tire quickly using your tire size. Check your owner's manual or tire sidewall to find the required specifications.

  • You can determine your tire type by looking at the tire's designation on the sidewall of your tire. The following describes the differences between the tire type designations: P-Metric: A uniform designation of tire sizes in metric measurements. A typical P-Metric tire is P205/70R14 93S. European Metric: This system was a conversion of the numeric system from inches to millimeters. The aspect ratio appears in the size designation in most cases where it is other than 82. A typical European Metric tire is 185/70R14 88S Light Truck-Metric: This system is used for light truck tires, and it mirrors the P-Metric system used for passenger tires. A typical LT-Metric tire is LT245/75R16 120R. Light Truck High Flotation: This type is for light truck tires with lower sidewalls and wider treads that yield better traction on surfaces such as sand and soft soil found in watery, off-road situations. A typical tire is 31X10.50R15 LT LRC

  • The aspect ratio is the relationship of a tire's sidewall height to its section width, expressed as a percentage. In this example, the tire sidewall height is approximately 55% of the tire width.<div><img src="/assets/mi/system/images/contextual-help/R2-aspect.png" /></div>
