Tread Depth/Wear Marks/Tire Replacement

I agree with the other posts --- its okay to run them flat in dry weather. Replace the tires at the end of the summer.

The wear indicators equal 2/32" tread left on the carcass. That may be enough for dry pavement driving but with that little tread left, I doubt that wet weather driving traction would be good, plus, a tire with little tread is prone to getting punctures as well.

I'd replace them before the tread wear bars are close to showing and especially if the tires exhibit poor wet road traction.

Now I am curious about maddog camper picture?
Is is something like this?




Than maybe it is coincidence, but I found LongDog camper video

Maddog - he hauls a TC = Truck Camper = No Tires

Depends on the tire, the reason and the season.
If you’ve made it thru this much of winter without tossing those tires in the garbage, then I’d run em til next winter or wore out, whichever comes first.
I burn through those OE Firestones for summer tires. In the snow, they are like trying to ice skate with your skate guards on!

My TC doesn't have tires, but the cars that we drive do have negative camber, what wears inner sides faster than outer. Not driving in the rain, I let the inner sides to go bold before buying new tires.
On truck, where tires last 60-100,000 miles, they usually age faster than wear.

“Do you run tires to wear marks before replacing?“

Not on my TVs.

I ran a set until the rears were practically racing slicks. That truck didn't haul a load, it only towed. a LOT.
