Measuring Tred on Stock Advans...

When you are lookin at the tread do you use the "penny" method...? How many mm's of tread is on there new?

These have been sitting in my garage and i need to get rid of em. Any input would be great...I would sell them but need to know the tread...Any help is greatly appreciated








Thanks

OE Advans start with 9/32nd's tread depth. Below are the best ways via our currency to check depth.

Place a penny into several tread grooves across the tire. If part of Lincoln's head is always covered by the tread, you have more than 2/32" of tread depth remaining.


------------

Place a quarter into several tread grooves across the tire. If part of Washington's head is always covered by the tread, you have more than 4/32" of tread depth remaining.


-----------

Place a penny into several tread grooves across the tire. If the top of the Lincoln Memorial is always covered by the tread, you have more than 6/32" of tread depth remaining.


Taken from our article online Measuring Tire Tread Depth with a Coin

Hope this helps
