i'm guessing that they are talking about fitting a penny to see how deep the scars are. "As long as you can still see Lincolns head its good, right?"

its an old trick to check your tire tread wear. you stick the top of a penny into the tread and if you cant see the top of lincoln's head then your tread is good.
