Check Your Tread Wear

The tread on your tires can tell you more than how many miles you've logged. Worn tires should be replaced when the tires' tread-wear bar meets the tread. Have your tires inspected regularly and do not drive on a damaged tire or wheel. Visit your authorized Mazda Dealer for a Full Circle Service inspection to check the wear of your tires for your safety and to maintain your vehicle's best performance.

Note: Measure tread depth away from the tread-wear bar.

Driving on bald or worn-out tires can make driving unsafe on Pottstown roads, so it's important to be mindful of the depth of your tire treads. Rather than having to deal with changing a flat tire, take preventative measures and learn how to monitor tire tread depth courtesy of John Kennedy Mazda Pottstown!

Please refer to your tire warranty guide for additional information.

The Penny Test

Tread depth is measured in 32nds of an inch. Tread depth on new tires typically measures 10/32 inches or 11/32 inches (about a third of an inch), while trucks, SUVs, or winter tires may have deeper treads. When tires reach 2/32 inches, the U.S. Department of Transportation recommends replacing them.

To check whether you've hit the 2/32-inch mark, use the penny test as follows:

  • Place a penny in a tire tread groove with Lincoln's head face first in the groove.
  • Check if Lincoln's face on the penny disappears between the grooves.
  • If it does, your tread is still above 2/32 inches. If you can see all of Lincoln's face, it's time to replace your tire.
  • Make sure to repeat with all tires and in various places on each tire.

There are a few other ways for drivers in Pottstown to check tire tread depth, including using a tread depth gauge and tread wear indicator bars.

Our Story
                       

The story of the John Kennedy Dealerships is one of longevity and growth that has been nurtured by the Kennedy family since 1955. Always learning and adjusting to the changes in the automotive retail and service business, the Kennedy’s have made their group of eight dealerships the first choice of multitudes of residents in Southeastern Pennsylvania.

Mazda came into the family in 2003 when our Conshohocken dealership opened under the John Kennedy name. Sales were handled out of a small building at the end of the display lot while a new dealership was built where an old warehouse stood next to the Ford dealership.

Our Mazda store in Pottstown arrived in January of 2007. A large parcel of land that was next to our Ford dealership on W. Ridge Road was the perfect home for our second Mazda dealership.

From the moment you walk through the door of any John Kennedy Dealership, our commitment to providing a convenient and enjoyable buying and servicing experience will be evident. We have many tenured salespeople and service staff that have built a loyal following through their genuine concern for a customer’s needs blended with a friendly disposition.

“Dealing with Kennedy was great”, we hear that sentiment quite often from our customers. It’s our people, our facilities, and our attention to our customer’s needs that create an environment where you can enjoy buying a car. We don’t stop there either; your ownership experience is just as important and we strive to provide the same enjoyment to your service experience as well. When we say “Enjoy Your Ride”, it starts when you first step into one of our dealerships.
