[QUOTE="OSFlanker, post: 89734, member: 12"] Just use a ruler! Most tyres come with 8mm of groove new. The wear indicator rib is usually 2mm. Just take a ruler and measure the groove depth at several places. Due to negative camber, most tyres will wear out on the inside first so that's where you should measure. If the groove depth is say 4mm, then you have 50% left (4mm out of 8mm). Most people will start looking for new tyres after 50% wear but with high performance tyres, the grip & noise level will usually still be good upto 30%. [/QUOTE]
