spect2k Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 At what point do you replace your tires? I know it can depend on whether you are coming up on snow season and what not, but as a rule of thumb, do you guys wait until they hit the legal limit or do you have a point prior to that? 6/32" 5/32" 4/32" 3/32" 2/32" Tire rack recommends 4/32" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA6MUlVNkLM]YouTube - Tire Rack Tire Testing - How Much Tread Depth Do You Need?[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGG Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I never measure them. When I feel like they aren't gripping like they should anymore it's time to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jproy12 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I'd say 3/32, since that's when i usually change mine! JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 depends on where/what you're doing: summer tires when its fall/warm/dry? 0-1/32 all seasons just before winter/snow? 4-5 /32 all seasons before rainy season? 3-4/32 dedicated winter tires on snow/ice? 6-7/32 (still can burn up the rest for spring/summer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 It depends on the season coming up. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 ....and if they are Goodyears..... 7/32":lol: I vote 4/32". IMHO, the 2/32" rule should be measured on the wear bar, which would give you the 4/32". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutBucket Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Meh. Socal so no biggie for me. I'm at about 3/32" on summers. Probably run them another 4-6 months before getting a new set. Still plenty of grip during our most recently rainstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
