Forget the penny. Before you go to the dealer the next time, stop by an auto parts store and pick up a tire depth gage for a couple of dollars. Check out the tires on a new car and you will find the PS2's are in fact 10/32" front and 9.5/32" rear.

Forget the penny and you sure can't tell by eyeballing. Before you go to the dealer the next time, stop by an auto parts store and pick up a tire depth gauge for a couple of dollars. Check out the tires on a new car and you will find the PS2's are in fact 10/32" front and 9.5/32" rear.

my finger depth gauge worked great! i'm telling ya...head to the dealer. see it for yourself. i don't need to be convinced...i already know the truth.

once again...this is why i went with the conti's. i didn't feel like being robbed of tread.

I have 30,000 on my Michelins. I had a flat a while back on the front and had to replace but the others still look pretty good. I am thinking I will get 40,000 out of them. I do mostly highway driving.

there must be a large crossfire burn-out party with all the sales staff on all 30 crossfires on the lot with michelin pilots.

i didn't see any marks in the back lot.

My finger gauge tells me that at 15k the depth of my Michelin PS is a one half difference from my new tires.
