Tire Wear
Getting ready for a 6-7k mile trip, the tires on the truck have 36k on them. They measure 8/32nds vs 15/32nds when new (the spare).
The old standby method is using a penny to show worn out tires at 2/32, and the newer call (TireRack) to change them at 4/32nds usesg a quarter instead of a penny. Using the more conservative 4/32 and my measurements I should be able to get about another 15k out of mine.
Think this pertains to TV tires as well as non TV? Or should I bite the bullet and replace them before we head to the national parks in Utah where I'm guessing tires can be harder to come by.
