Check tyre tread depth with a coin, not just by eye
A quick objective check instead of guessing from how worn it looks.
Why it works
Tread that looks "probably fine" is exactly where most riders get it wrong, since visual wear is hard to judge accurately. Inserting a coin into the tread groove and checking how much stays hidden gives an actual measurement against the legal/safe minimum instead of a guess.
