    Change em in a couple months before winter and throw any with legal tread on a spare rack on a trailer would be my answer

    Thanks everyone for your responses. I bought a tire depth checker on amazon, I'll post back here with the exact numbers when it comes in.

    Check the tread depth gauge on a flat table top or surface before dipping it in the tread groove. Make sure it is at 0. Most have to be calibrated out of the package.

    DOT will #### you if your tread is below 4/32nd on the front or 2/32nd on the drives or trailer tires at the lowest point on the tire. Buy a tread depth gauge and see how low they are. Don't take the chance in getting a massive fine because your company sucks.

    If it goes flat He'll have to replace it. Easier than arguing with the boss. Gee I have a flat, I had a time at Primm Nevada when my powder train had 6 flats, must have been somthing in the road.
