Just wondering how much longer I can drive on these tires. So far I have just over 20k miles on them.

Rear:




Front:

 

We're approaching rainy season here on the east coast. If you wait until you get down to the bare-minimum legal level, you'll be floating all over the place.

I had about double the legal tread on my last car (05 Malibu) and I hydroplaned all the way from Boston, Ma to central Jersey... it was scarey, and the tires were replaced before I rode home.... IMO, not worth it, and looks like you're getting close, more so on the rears. The fronts don't appear to be getting shallow. A deep groove on one side won't compensate for a shallow one on the other, your shallow point is your weak point....

Oh, and you can pick up a tire tread depth tool for $.99 at any auto parts store or general store that has an automotive section, it's a great way to cheaply and accurately gauge wear.

 

i would say your fine..looks like you have atleast 65% left if not more. I drove home on slicks before in a bad rain storm here in florida and was fine.

Anybody else have an estimate?

 

I drove mine until there was metal showing on the rears (13,000 miles lol). But I was holding off because i was buying rims and just got tires with them.

 

Looks like you're gonna be just fine. Weather is warming up anyways. Looks like even wear, too.

 

Keep them rolling till they look like this


MORE TRACTION THIS WAY.
That's 30k
so you deff good for another 10 or so.

 

10 k more..lol dont no about that

 

take it to discount tire, they'll measure it for you.

 

Is it a safe/cheap alternative to go wider for the OEM 19s? Like 275s in the rear and 245s up front?

 

It looks like you are fine for a few more months I'd say you have about 70%

 

Those are what mine looked like when I replaced them with winters this year. Now, I'm looking to get into a new set of summers, and haven't decided on PS1s or 2s....
