Tire rotation every 5,000-8,000 miles helps them wear evenly and last longer. Replace tires when tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch-use the penny test (insert a penny upside down; if you see the top of Lincoln's head, it's time).

Proper tire maintenance improves fuel economy, handling, and safety. Castle CDJR of Chesterton's Service Department rotates and replaces tires using quality replacements suited to your vehicle and driving needs.
