I've never believed in taking the tires down to the 2/32nd of tread depth when in fact in my experience, tires do degrade heavily once past 1/2 tread. Yeah, I just don't like'em after that and especially since the other tires siping etc. are gone even if the rain grooves remain. My wife yells(not really) at me for spending money on tires too early but, I just tell her how much I love her & care about her safety and things are cool!
