Penny tread test

[HiSpec]

I know that with an American penny, if the tread doesn't cover the crown it means your tires are useless.

Now with a Canadian penny, if the tread doesn't cover the top of the queen's hair, it means your tires are useless.

Am I correct?

It's called tread, and it doesn't work that way. Look for the wear bars on your tires.

I'm pretty sure you don't need a penny to tell if your tires are bald.
