Hi Lenny Here is what I founds Wear bars in the tires start showing when there is 2 mm of tread left. These bars show up as solid bands of rubber across the face of the tire. If you have wear bars showing, the tires need replacing. Driving on wet or muddy roads requires more tread depth. New tires start with about 11 to 13 mm of tread but should be replaced when they get down to about 4 mm remaining. Inspect tires on a regular basis, looking for uneven wear caused by improper inflation or incorrect wheel alignment. Catching a problem early can increase tire life dramatically..

How do you measure tire tread depth. I like to replace the tires about 5/32". Just had them checked and they measured 7/32". Pa. inspection allows down to 1/16". --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ Lenny ------------------------------------ Send any questions regarding list management to: [email protected] To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_p age&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [email protected]!
