If you want to be a little more precise you can try to pick up a tread depth
gauge at a tire shop like Firestone. Tires are required to be changed when
tread depth reaches 2/32".
It's not the tread I'm worried about, but the overall condition of the tires. I see all those cracks and I don't know if that's supposed to be normal wear and tear, or if the tire is now unsafe to drive on. See where I'm coming from?
