How much tread does this tire have?

Maybe it should meet an unfortunate "accident" to finally finish it off. It's dead anyway.

 

Too funny , go get a tread guage and measure them . Lowest number on drives is 2 /32 , 4/32 on steers . If in doubt , have a DOT guy check them , they'll get changed if there not legal.
( could be put out of service and and pay a ticket and some bad marks on psp and such , but heh , what do i know . Just make sure to tell the road service bring a couple tires and take a nap ) hehehehe

 

Looks like 7/32"'s or so. Not a year, but maybe 4 or 5 months

 

They'll be due soon, before winter for sure unless you drive less than 2,000 miles a week.

 

First the tires are worn but legal and i can understand why the company would want to run them lower. #### things are getting spendy to replace.

Though as others have said. Tire gauge them and do it every week at least. When they get to just above legal (3/32 and 5/32 for drive/steer) take a picture with the guage and send it in when you tell them. If the company is any good they will swap the tires asap. If they dont change them or try to string you along. Call a dot weigh station on your route at some point and ask for a level 1.

You may or may not get a ticket and points on your own psp depending on local laws and the cop in question, so use with caution as this is the nuclear option to force their hand and nukes tend to be pretty broad in what they catch. But the company will get slapped pretty #### hard for an OOS relitive to you.

That said unless you have a compelling reason to stay with a company running junk equipment if they do get to unsafe levels. Then the smart move would be to move on before YOUR record gets a black mark for their stupidity.

 

First picture looks pretty close the rest seem considerably better although there all getting down there….as previously mentioned a tread depth gauge won’t lie

 

If they are not at or below legal tread depth then run on them, until winter comes along.
Winter is when you really want fresh rubber.

 

Where I work we call those summer run outs . Never had issues during inspections but we do get new winter tires they pull in spring to use run outs in summer. Surprisingly they last a long time

 

As mentioned buy a tire gauge and measure them.

I do exactly that, and take a picture with the gauge showing the tread depth. Put it in my pre and post trip and send it off.

Had new tires on the one drive axle that was of concern the next day. Company I work for just has a tire service truck come to the yard to do the work.
