How do you tell if your tires are worn down?
All tires have a wear indicator. Look on the tire for that indicator between the tread. Once the tire reaches that point they are worn out and need replacing. Another test is to insert a penny with Lincoln's head down. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head they are worn out.
How can I know if my car's tires are worn out?
Always check for visable damage to the tire itself. If there is no visible damage, the easiest way to check tire wear is the penny test. Place a penny "head down" into the groove of a tire, If you can see the top of it's head, your tires need replace, legally. However, you should replace your tire when the tread is reduced below 4/32 of a inch. The easiest way to measure this is actually to us the "Quarter test". Do this test the same as the penny test on with a quarter, for a more accurate reading or check your tires "wear bars" which are bars within your tread that are below the tread and are the minimum safe depth for your tire.

I don't know which of the two tires are winter and which are summer It has been 3 months since summer started should I change tires in case I am using the wrong ones?
Typically, Winter tires have a more aggressive tread design to enable better traction in snowy conditions. If you are unsure about them now, it may be a little late anyhow because Summer is only going to be around another few months. Snow tires do wear faster than all season tires though, so keep that in mind. They usually have a softer compound. To tell how much of treadlife you have left, use a penny upside down inserted into the tread. If you can see Lincoln's hair then you need tires. A better test may be to use a quarter and do the same test. If you see Washington's hair then you have time to look for new tires before they get real bad or even illegal.

If the tread is worn more on the inside or outside you need a front end alignment. If the tread is worn on the outer edges you are running the tires with too low air pressure. Worn in the center, too much air pressure. Of course dry rotted and cracked tires need replacing no matter the tread depth.

In California what is required tire tread depth in inches?
In California, the legal minimum tire tread depth is 1/16 of an inch, which is equivalent to 0.0625 inches. To ensure safety, it's recommended to replace tires before they reach this depth.

You can use a tread depth gauge or the penny test—placing a penny in the tread with Lincoln's head down; if you can see his entire head, it's time to replace the tires. Regularly checking tread depth helps ensure optimal performance and safety on the road.
