For people who don't understand the tire tread depth here is a Google search I found.
What exactly does “bald” mean?
Here in the U.S., tire tread is measured in 32nds of an inch. A brand-new tire has a tread depth around 10/32nds of an inch (approximately 1/3 of an inch). Some tires, like winter tires or off-road tires, may have a deeper tread.
As you drive on the tires, the tread gradually wears down. If you reach the point where there’s 2/32nds of an inch of tread or less left, the tires are bald and are considered legally worn out in most states. Continuing to drive on these tires is definitely dangerous and could even earn you a ticket.
