Tire Tread Depth Reference
New passenger-car tires commonly start with substantially more tread than the legal minimum. As tread wears down, wet-weather traction generally decreases and the tire becomes more important to monitor.
6/32"+
Healthy tread depth. Continue normal inspections and monitor wear.
4–5/32"
Tread is noticeably worn. Begin planning for future replacement.
2–3/32"
Low tread depth. Replacement should be planned soon.
⚠️ Important
This tool is a general tread-depth reference and is not a substitute for a professional tire inspection. Check tread across multiple locations on the tire and inspect for uneven wear, cracks, bulges, punctures, or other damage. Local laws and tire-manufacturer recommendations may differ.
