Why tires?
Tires are one of the highest of importance when it comes to mobility and safety. They can make a significant difference in traction and stopping distances dependent on the wear and condition of your tires.
Driving on worn tires is like walking on shoes with worn or no soles. It makes for a difficult walk and can cause mishaps as well. It is not every day that we think about this, but on average people drive about 25-50 mph in city and 50-80mph on the Highway. In an emergency, if you are driving with worn tires, your stopping distance increases, especially on slippery roads. On a recent study, a vehicles stopping distance was compared based on tire tread. It took 8 car lengths more stopping distance with the worn tires measuring at 4/32nds compared to new tires at 10/32nds. Nearly 10 car lengths more with tires worn down to 2/32nds. This is important to think about as it can be pertinent in an emergency.
At what measurement are tires ok?
New tire tread depths can vary. They vary depending on the type of application, tread design, tread profile and measurement. This is due to types of tires such as all-season tires, passenger tires, off road tires, performance tires, etc.
On average, our tires new start at 10/32nds of measurement. 10/32 – 7/32nds are considered good tires. 6/32nds – 5/32nds are considered ok and you will need to plan to have them replaced, if not now, soon. 4/32nds or below, tires should be replaced. 3/32nds is when your tire tread is worn to the wear bar indicator. Under 2/32nds are considered unsafe and need to be replaced immediately to meet legal safety standards.
