** Caution: EXTERNAL Sender ** If it makes you feel better, I met two guys from Omaha, NE at the solar conference in LA and they, unprompted, started giving me solar power parking canopy part lengths in meters! They said,"it's easier"! I thanked them on behalf of USMA!

It is, however, recommended to replace tyres by the time they reach a tread depth of 2mm. The tread grooves of a tyre contain wear indicators, called TWIs (Tread Wear Indicators). Mike Payne On 10/09/2024 23:21, John Steele wrote: Federal regulations set minimum tread requirements for commercial trucks, the states regulate for passenger cars. In both cases the rules are written in 32nds of an inch. The brake lining specs are probably from the manufacturer. It probably makes sense to measure in the same units as applicable rules. Commercial trucks: 4/32 on the steerable wheels, 2/32 on all other tires Passenger cars: Some states may vary but generally 2/32 on all tires.

The printed report show depth of brake linings in millimeters and depth of tire treads in 32nds of an inch (0.8 mm). sigh And one of those measurements was for 6.5, so that half of 1/32 inch meant their instruments were capable of measuring down to 1/64 of an inch (0.4 mm). Why not just do everything in half millimeters? There?s probably no way they could justify that level of precision in any case. = = = = = = Richard S. Russell 7846 W.
