Don't be concerned about "only" having 1/4" of tread. 95% of your truck tires only have that much usable tread depth. New 10/32" worn out 2/32"
I've yet to find a premium 16" or 17" or 18" or 20" LT like we use on trucks/trailers with only 8/32nds of tread depth.
I do see a few LT tires with 11-12/32nds and thicker tread depth but most of the premium 16" LT E tires we use on our trailers run in the 13 to 15/32nds range. ?
Running tread depths like that gets 60k-70k miles a set on my equipment trailers with LT235/85-16 E.
WE don't see that kind of mileage with a tire with only 1/4" of usable tread depth on service trailers.

I stand corrected 10.5/32" new tread depth, worn out at 2/32" so 1/64" more than just 1/4" usable tread depth.
