get a penny an put lincoln head first into the tread.....if his hair is touching the tread(look at it an eye level, balanced) its good...if its lower then you need new shit.

also if your tires a slightly gettin bald on the side like they are smooth an there is now "wall" you need new shit.


basically look at a pic of new tires....if the tread is like 40 or 50% less then it, as in being worn down. get new wheels.......you dont wanna be riding on a donut

The vibrating in your wheels can also be caused by what's called a " blister " on the tire. Looks like a kinda like a bubble, the dangerous part is that the rubber is stretched and vulnerable to blow outs.

r the tires u talkin about in your sig?

- but just take it to (cant think of the stores name) a tire place, tell em its unstable at 70 mph, theyll check and see if you need them rotated, if u need 4 new tires, if theres somthin wrong with just 1, whatever it is.
