Patients with severe mitral regurgitation, a condition in which the heart's mitral valve does not close and seal properly, have a new, minimally invasive treatment option. The MitraClip system is a procedure that uses a small clip to repair the heart's mitral valve to treat mitral regurgitation.
Here in the U.S., tire tread is measured in 32nds of an inch. A brand-new tire has a tread depth around 10/32nds of an inch (approximately 1/3 of an inch). Some tires, like winter tires or off-road tires, may have a deeper tread. As you drive on the tires, the tread gradually wears down. If you reach the point where thereâs 2/32nds of an inch of tread or less left, the tires are bald and are considered legally worn out in most states.
The tread depth groove in the tyres will tell you when your tyres are at the bare legal minimum of 1.6mm, ideally you should change your tyres earlier. The best way to check you tread depth is to buy a tread depth gauge.The gauge will give you the exact amount of tread remaining and will a lot more accurate.ost tyres now also have a depth indicator as shown in the picture above. The depth indicator is placed around the tyre within the groove. This is an easy way to check your tread depth. Once this groove indicator levels off with the top the tread the tyres are at 1.6mm.
