Tires—ZL1

How do I know the tires on my ZL need replacing? There wasn’t much tread when it was new.

I have ZL1's on mine and when I get my oil changed, the dealer uses hit tire tool to measure the thread. I have a little life left on mine but I put on about 4k a year so my tires will probably rot before they wear down.

Auto part stores have tire tread measurers, I bought one at AutoZone last month.

When the tread is even with the wear bars they need to be replaced.

FYI, when mine were nearing replacement I sold them. Someone may want them for track day, depending on the amount of tread left. I’d suggest getting a waiver from the buyer if you do, just in case they have an issue. I got ~$150 per tire for mine with little tread left.
