A new tire retains a tread depth from 10/32 to 11/32. This tread depth is usually made to last anywhere from 3 to 5 years, depending on how well it is maintained. To measure the tread of a tire using an available chart, follow these steps: Insert a penny into the tire.
If rain and wet roads are a concern, you should consider replacing your tires when they reach approximately 4/32 of remaining tread depth. Since water can't be compressed, you need enough tread depth to allow it to escape through the tire's grooves.f there isn't enough tread depth, the bites of snow your tires can take on each revolution will be so small that your traction will be reduced. Because tread depth is an important element for snow traction, winter tires start with deeper tread depths than standard all-season or summer tires.
