Canvassing opinions here...….
I've been asked to draft some sort of standard regarding the minimum depth of tyre tread on our pickup truck fleet. Nothing large in it, mostly Toyota Hilux & Ford Ranger about 1/2 ton capacity.
Now I know the legal minimum worldwide is usually somewhere around 1/16" (1.6mm) of tread, but personally-speaking how much of a minimum tread depth would any one of you be happy to run on his personal ride..? I'm betting that it would be significantly more than whatever is the legal minimum in your location. I'm not going to muddy the waters with what I've been told up to now. So speak up and give me your thoughts.
