Tread Depth/Wear Marks/Tire Replacement

Do you run tires to wear marks before replacing?

Currently running 275 R70 18 Firestone Transforce HT on Dodge 3500 SRW w/Northern Light 10-2. Tires are approx half way to wear marks compared to new (spare).

  • As Don said. Every make/model of tire could be different, traction handling. The summer tires for the CRV, with 50% tread left were scary slippery on damp roads when the temperature got down to 40•F. My dedicated winter tires have more traction on ice and snow

  • Replace at minimum at the wear bars. But if they get the least bit squirrly in the wet dump em.
