Tire Tread Left

I just got my tire tread checked out by the dealer and i have:

3/32" on the rears
5/32" on the fronts

How many miles do you think I have left on these tires? I have put 23k miles on them (OEM 19" Potenzas).

Start shopping now. Assuming 12,000 mi yearly travel, you have about a one month window.

Your rears are 1/32" away from the legal limit in most if not all states.

At 5/32", your fronts have already lost about 60% of their wet traction.

If I were you, I'd drive like Miss Daisy was in the back seat until you got new tires, especially in the rain.
