How's the tread on your tires?

If you haven't checked in a while, now would be a good time to do so because we all know some will be here soon!

Jenny Hardman visited Les Schwab Tire Center in South Salt Lake and learned how to check a tire's tread with the penny test.

Store Manager Steve Boekholder says put the penny head-side down in the tread of your tire. If you can see Lincoln's head, it's time to get new tires.

All Les Schwab Tire Centers have tires in stock to fit any type of vehicle, and they can help you select the right tires for you.

They will also switch out your summer and winter tires if you need them to.

While you're there, make sure to donate to Candy Cane Corner.
