7. Check Your Tread
When your tires start to wear, the treads wear down. This affects how your tires grip the road and how much they heat up while you’re driving. To avoid flats and blowouts on a road trip, check the tread. You can either use a coin or a special tread gauge. You should have at least 1.6 mm of tread left before you head out; if you have less than 2.5 mm, consider replacing your tires before you leave.
