When tire treads wear down, the performance in in-acclimate weather (rain or snow) decreases and it becomes difficult to maneuver your vehicle accurately. Most states within the United States have a law that states tires are worn down to 2/32” of tread left in depth are no longer safe or useable. It is possible to measure your vehicle’s tire tread remaining with US coins; pennies or quarter in relation to the President’s head on the coin. However, it is best recommended to rely on the use of a tire gauge for the most accurate reading.
The British Police are considering implementing an in-road system designed to detect and ticket drivers driving with too low of tire treads. The system was created by ProContour, a German company, in order to force drivers to replace their bad tires once they have received a ticket. Lasers, cameras, and the combined help of the police force would establish a safer road for drivers. This new technology, if effective, could improve the roadway for all drivers and possibly alter the production of tires in the future.
