at what tread depth do you replace your tires

[S-3 Ranch]

I typically go by this as well, but I won’t wait until they wear all the way down to that mark. I drive too fast to have questionable tread on my tires, and $1200 is worth it to me to be safe. It equates to roughly 45,000 miles give or take

One blowout will do about $5000 or more in fender/ body damage
Not worth the risk of pushing 5 years or 50,000 miles, I do the same on trailers

[MidloTurtle]

Yep this. There are wear bars or indicators when the tires are no longer safe.

When I get to wear bars I get my Dremel and cut the wear bars out..

2/32” tread depth is the fail limit on state inspections. If you dont have a depth gauge, using a penny to see lincolns noggin is the rule of thumb.

I replace them at 4/32 unless they are separating or vibrating then they get replaced sooner. I do too much driving to not have good tires.

Lots of good miles left on these ones...

Much agreed. Also a blowout almost ALAWAYS happens at the most inopportune time.

You drive on highways at highway speeds or more with the wire showing and not going to replace them, you are facing a blowout and possibly killing yourself and others. Very irresponsible. Around town with that type of wear, I understand.
I have had blowouts on pickups pulling a 5th wheel and know the damage they can do along with blowouts on big trucks, box trucks not semi's, and can tell you that is not fun!

Depends on time of year and if I have any big trips planned. But around 3/32nds of tread in the drier summer months, maybe a little earlier if I'm going into the winter/wetter months and need the traction off-road.

Same here.

Only 4 plugs ? Run it !

[MUZZYSLINGR]

I change my tires out when they fail to pass the old penny test.

When it won't pass inspection or I know I need tires and can catch a good sale.

X2, this is the plan, but doesn't always work out this way.

I do mine every 2 yrs regardless of tread
This is texas and dry rot will get you a blow out and cause a deadly accident not worth it to me

When they start rusting.
