    You talking dot standards? I don't think dot cares, so long as there is sufficient tread. We talking duals, or silly singles? Tmc had a standard set for their duals as any set with more than .600 in depth then both need changed

    The maximum recommended difference is 3/4" according to this webpage. DOT don't care.

    .06"(1.5mm) on drives, .012"(3mm) on steer with two adjacent treads. These are Ontario rules.

    You talking overall diameter or actual tread depth? Plenty of new rubber only shows up with 23/32" of tread...

    Yes I suppose it would be overall diameter not sure how accurate I could measure that my self though... They ended up letting loves put 2 retread trailer tires on.... Oh well it's legal now
