Tire Tread Depth for Princeton, NJ DriversPosted July 11, 2021 8:15 AMDriving on bald tires is like playing roulette. Though you may be fine today, eventually your luck is going to run out. This is where the studies come in. We think Princeton drivers will be surprised. A section of a test track was flooded with a thin layer of water. If you laid a dime flat on the track, the water would be deep enough to surround the coin, but not enough to submerge it. A car and a full-sized pick-up truck were brought up to 70 mph/112 kph and then made a hard stop in the wet test area. Stopping distance and time were measured for three different tire depths. First, they tested new tires. Then tires worn to legal limits. And finally, tires with 4/32 inch/3.2 mm of tread were tested (the depth suggested by Consumer Reports.) KPS Princeton Garage | ||
