\r\nTread Depth<\/h2>\r\n
What do tread depth numbers mean?<\/h3>\r\nThe tire tread depth gauge measures in 32nds of an inch. A good tire tread depth is [latex]\\tfrac{6}{32}[\/latex] or deeper. If the depth is [latex]\\tfrac{4}{32}[\/latex], its time to consider replacing your tires for new ones. [latex]\\tfrac{2}{32}[\/latex] or less means that you should change your tires ASAP. A legal winter tire must have [latex]\\tfrac{3}{32}[\/latex] of tread depth. Regular tread depth checks help avoid sliding and skidding on the roads while braking.\r\n\r\nChecking your tire tread depth:\r\n
- \r\n \t
- Park and turn off your car. Ensure the emergency brake is on.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Grab the depth gauge, find the pin, and insert it into the grooves between the treads of the tire. Press down on the base plate of the gauge unit until it\u2019s flush with the tire tread.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Repeat step 2 in at least 4 different places on each tire for an accurate read.<\/li>\r\n \t
- The lowest reading you get is going to be the correct overall reading for the tire. If the reading fluctuates across multiple points on the same tire, your tires need to be replaced.<\/li>\r\n \t
