Tire Thread Depth Question

[mazzipino]

Measured my thread using a 5 piso coin then measured it on a ruler and the reading is 5mm.

When people use the term 'threadlife/threadwear percentage', how much would 5mm be as a %?

For example, I know brand new tires are give/take 8mm in thread depth, so 8mm would be 100% threadlife, what would 5mm be? (Roughly).

[SIZE="3"]Based on 8mm as 100%, 5mm=62.5%[/SIZE]

I saw a few sellers ng used stock tires sa Facebook.

Question, how do they measure the tire tread percentage?

[_Qwerty_]

brand new tires have 9mm depth.. so you can get the %.. say 6mm will be 66% more or less..

yun din naisip ko nung una... may specific depth ang new tires...

kaso kakahukay ko. pati motorcycles and SUV/off-road tires may % na nilalagay owners. saan galing yun?
