I have heard a commercial about using the head on a penny. I will go try that and see if I can see the head. Anyway, please keep your posts up regarding the tires you get prices on, and what you go with. Good luck!!!
You measure them with a tread depth gauge. They're cheap and should be available at all auto parts stores.


Tread depth of the stock tire is 10/32nds when new. So, I'm at about 40% tread left at 4/32nds. State Inspection requires 3/32nds I believe.
