Noob tire tread question

[Hien]

Hi guys, I have no idea about a lot of things with cars yet. So one of these things is my tire tread. Can someone let me know where my tread is currently at by looking at it? I don't have the thing to measure it yet!

The car is at 9000 miles and I daily it. Moderate to hard driving at times. Should I replace the 2 rear? Front looks fine.

Use a penny until you get a depth gauge. If you can see all of Lincoln’s head you need new tires.

I would start searching

Agree with @cbring, not needed but at least start searching. Maybe not a bad idea to even order with how long some have waited for certain tires.

I'm going on a 9 hr road trip to NJ in the morning, will probably be good idea to order, and swap when I get back...

As mentioned, it's time to start looking into new rubber.

You can also gauge the tread depth by referencing the tire’s wear indicator bars. Most tires are built wear indicators moulded into the tread grooves, as seen in the image below.

These bars are raised to 2/32nds of an inch. If your tread depth is level with the tire’s wear indicator, your tires are completely worn out.

Oh the irony, I've already added a pair of rear tires to the Supra on your website haha

I go longer as well but… Assuming they’re not old, tire rot, worn on other areas, etc. Discount Tire is fantastic! Wife just bought a full set for my mom’s Mazda 3 and wheels from them. I wouldn’t want her driving on that. But I would. Depends on how comfortable you are with grip loss and age of those tires.
