[epec]

just finished 1 year with 20k miles on the 2022 Mach E , brought to dealer for service and they sent me videos for brake and tire inspection. all good , and notice tire thread is 6/32" . wondering how many additional miles I can put on this car before i have to replace the tire . i will post my one year review shortly on this forum

Probably another 10 to 15K

But I would replace them now to make sure it doesn’t hurt the HVJB. ?

how the tire thread related to HVJB

I think the rule of thumb is a tire is done at 2/32, (don't hold me to that.) Per google, a new tire starts at 10-11/32. I have no idea if the last bit of tread wears quicker than the start, but it sounds like you have another 20k miles.

I just had my 10k service and I'm at 7-8/32.

Same car.

Seriously, he spoke in jest.

As long as the tire wear indicator not touching the ground yet the thread is still thick enough. I don’t go by the depth but only see if the indicator reaches the thread surface. Then it’s time for a replacement.

Just the opposite. Typically, tires wear faster when new. All that tread squishing around creates heat, which translates to wear. It's a similar mechanism to winter tires wearing quickly when driven in warm temperatures.
Nearly bald tires sometimes seem to live on forever...but that doesn't mean they are safe, especially in the wet.

Worn tires are at 4/32”, below that you can hydroplane easily. In the north you replace at 6/32” because of snow traction.

I would say he has 5-10k left on the tires before reaching 4/32”.

Tires are not all the same. It is quite easy to find your original tread depth for a specific tire online.

Pretty risky to go with tires that worn. The indicator's main purpose is to allow you to visually see if tire wear is the same across the tire. Any tire store will measure tires for free, or buy a gauge for a few dollars.

Nice job... I just checked today, at 22k i'm between 3/32 and 4/32... debating what tires to go with now. Was hoping for a little more life in the OEMs...

Check out the Nokian One. 80,000 mile warranty, low rolling resistance, good snow traction, and around $150/tire in 18".
