Tires are around 4/32. 45k miles on the original tires right now. Located in California so not much rain/snow. Short commute. Would you replace now or milk them a bit more?
Milk it, that's 40% of most tires' total tread. Take it to 2/32...
Nearly. Not yet.
Absolutely required if hitting the red zone. In yellow - start searching for the deals at Costco and settle on price to qualify ratio. With the wet season almost done in CA, probably may go another 5k, or replace sooner if a road trip coming soon or found an absolute best deal.
Lol nah, I would keep going until it is almost bald.
I still see tread. Milk. Unless you’re just totally itching to drop $1500 or whatever it’s gonna cost.
If it rains/snows in your area i would replace soon. If its bone dry, youre probably fine til 2/32
Those tires still have a lot of life left. Trust me
I can’t edit original post but looks like I’m waiting! Thanks everyone for the feedback
I wpuld replace before the wet season. So September?
I’ve seen aircraft techs replace them at 1/16 😅
I don't think I've ever replaced tires with that much visible tread, but then again, I've been known to be kind of an idiot.
Easy 10K mikes left on them. Unless they're getting old I'd wait
I'm in the same exact boat as you. I've only got about 36K on my original tires. I feel like there's plenty of life left in them. Im in SoCal and work only a few days a week in office which is about a 90 mile commute round trip. I just dont have it in me to drop $1200 for a set right now. LoL
4/32 is the limit for heavy rain. If you will never be in heavy rain or just feel lucky, punk, go for it, keep driving, just not on the same roads as me.
Nah, when it's bald, he has racing slicks for at least another 2k miles.
Only if you have a blowout and have to replace a tire then I’d do all. I’d let it ride
40k in PNW, but at 5-6/32 right now. I’ll reevaluate in September before the next wet season.
45k miles? That’s awesome. Lucky if I get 12k on my MXP
Still a lot of meat on the bone 🍖 . Keep them
Send it.
Well do you, feel lucky?
The car will alert you when to replace
That looks to be around 3/32 not 4..
Are wear bars not a universal thing around the world or am I losing it?
I have the same gauge reading my tires at 3/32 evenly. original tires have 53k miles. I live in a moderate snow area and they’ve been fine even in fresh 6”. I plan to replace mine this summer. Normal driving style and conditions you’re fine until you hit the wear bars (2/32 usually).
Wait. I just had to replace two and purchased an alternate brand from $88 each instead of the $400 each for stock. Don’t notice a single difference
They’re there.

Most people don't know about them or how to look for them.
Recommend if you have extra money, but not in the real life , you have like 10.000 miles ahead of you
I use these to check! Great tip
There you go, I've never in my life actually measured my tread depth with a gauge. Always just checked the wear bars. Mind you I live in Australia where no snow falls so perhaps we are less interested in the actual tread depth during a given season and just that there's a legal amount there?
Unless you're in the mountains, you're good for a while.
