MECHANIC SAYS LOOK FOR THE TINY MICHELIN ON YOUR TIRES TO USE A CLEVER,, SECURET TRICK
TikTok user David (@_andwhyisthat_) notes that, if you have Michelin tires, there’s an easy way to tell when your tires have been worn down.
In the clip, David shows a Michelin tire. Upon closer examination, there’s a “little Michelin man” near the tread of the tire. One of his hands is extended upwards, pointing to the tread.
“What he’s pointing at is the wear bars,” David states.
What David says in his video has been confirmed by Michelin itself.
On the company’s British website, it writes, “Tyre wear indicators are marks spaced evenly along the tyre tread, so you’re able to identify how much of the tyre tread depth has worn down.
In the comments section, users were thankful for the advice, even if it didn’t help them personally.As one user put it, “I don’t even drive but this is interesting.”
