Please help determine tread depth
Hey guys,
I did research this already and found some threads regarding this topic. My issue is, it is very difficult to tell the tread depth on this tire and have no idea where I am at. I would like to sell the wheels soon and want to have an accurate description of the tires. Thank Pictures attached. |

You just need a tread depth gauge, you can pick them up at most auto stores, or at a discount tire. They're < $10.

Except for the fact that our tire wear isn't usually uniform. I'd just take a picture of whichever part of the tire (inner, outer, center) has the least amount of tread.
