Eventually, you will notice that your car is losing traction due to tread loss, especially on wet surfaces. You'll also notice that you may not be getting the mileage out of your car that you used to. A good, simple way to check the tread is with a quarter. On most tires, when the tread is lower than Washington's nose, it's time to take your car in and see of you need new tires.
