Dot told me once years ago if the outer wear bar is gone it doesn’t matter how much tread the rest of the tire had its a oos .. he’s at that point pretty much
Is this safe or a warning sign?

Any tire on the front wheels of a bus, truck, or truck tractor shall have a tread groove pattern depth of at least 4⁄32 of an inch when measured at any point on a major tread groove. The measurements shall not be made where tie bars, humps, or fillets are located.
Once it's to that point, there's not much to be had out of the tire at that position anyways. Would be better served on a local trailer or thrown on a spare tire rack IMO. And DOT has their own opinions sometimes regardless of the regs lol. I guess it's what's interpreted as a major groove for the specific officer. -
