Most new tires sold at Luther INFINITI of Bloomington and elsewhere offer between 10/32 to 11/32 of an inch (about a third of an inch) of tire tread depth. Snow tires and larger chunky tires designed may have even deeper tread grooves with a larger tread depth.
While there’s really no “recommended” tire tread depth to drive on at any given time, there is a legally mandated tread depth at which the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) says it’s time to replace your tires. That tread depth is 2/32 of an inch. Why is that? Because at that tread depth, tires really begin losing their traction-holding capabilities, resulting in a much greater chance of hydroplaning, wheel slippage, and motor vehicle collisions. As such, they pose too great of a safety risk to Eden Prairie and Edina drivers to continue using.
