Is there any reason why not to explain tread wear indicator and how to locate them?
Gotta love all of those people running bald tires in the middle of winter but think they’re ok because they have AWD. 🤣
Jen, you rock lady...
In the inner city if it holds air it's good!
I have 44 X18.5 16.5
Super Swamper TSL tires on my truck. When I put the quarter in the tread, it disappears.
Hi I was wondering when the Ultra High Performance Summer Tire Ratings will be coming out this year? Not asking for a guarantee because I know testing has unforeseen circumstances, just a best guess for approximately what month or season even. Thanks!
Keep in mind that, on average, your emergency stopping distance doubles going from 4/32 to 2/32 of tread. 2/32 is the legal minimum, but 4/32 is the safe minimum.
Or just buy a tread depth gauge for $4 and have the full range.
Can you do the same test with Canadian money, for your Canadian viewers and readers? Since we don't have the penny anymore, it can be a quarter and and dime.
2/32 of a inch, why nor use 1/16 inch or why not use 1.6mm
Don't you mean 1/16th?
Allows Before
Or the penny is 1/16th of an inch and the quarter is 1/8th of an inch.
What should Canadians do?
Which coins will do the trick for us?
In metric please
i can't be the only one wondering if both if the people fail at math?
New tires' treads aren't all that deep to begin with so, understandably, consumers can only use about 50% to 60% of the tire tread before having to replace them.
Instead of using a penny, why not use a depth gauge you can buy for $2 or less at any auto parts store? Durr!!
Why say 4/32 inch? LMFAO as if 1/8 wasn't complicated enough?
2/32 of a inch? just say 1/16th...
Tire tread is almost universally measured in units of 32nds of an inch. If you go to a car shop and they give you back an evaluation form showing the current maintenance needs of your car, they'll write tire tread in 32nds of an inch. Rather than have a scale that goes "1/32, 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16..." They just keep the denominator the same. We're not doing math here: we're giving consumers the easiest possible way to know how long they have until they need new tires.
