Tire Tread Depth Federal Requirements

Per § 393.75, tire tread must meet minimum depth standards. Specific differences by axle position.

Minimum depths

  • Steer tires: 4/32 of an inch
  • Other axles (drive, trailer): 2/32 of an inch
  • Hazmat-placarded vehicles: special requirements (5/32 + on steer)

How to measure

  • Use a tire tread gauge or coin test
  • Measure in two adjacent grooves
  • Measure at multiple points around the tire
  • Take the lowest depth reading

When measurement matters

  • DVIR pre-trip inspection
  • Annual DOT inspection
  • Roadside inspection
  • Pre-departure trip check

What inspectors look for

  • Tread depth in adjacent grooves
  • Cuts, punctures, or sidewall damage
  • Ply separation (visible)
  • Mismatched tire sizes
  • Excessive wear pattern (indicating misalignment)

Tire age vs tread depth

  • New tires: typically 22/32-32/32 tread
  • Replace tires when:
    • Steer at or below 4/32 (federal minimum + safety margin)
    • Other at or below 2/32 (federal minimum)
    • Damage requires replacement
    • Excessive wear pattern (typically 4+ years for steer)

Cost-benefit

  • A typical Class 8 steer tire = $400-700; lasts 80-100K miles
  • Premature replacement adds $$$; late replacement risks OOS

Common tire violations

  • Tread depth below minimum
  • Sidewall damage
  • Bead/cap separation
  • Mismatched tires on dual position
  • Improper inflation

Compass tracking

Compass Vehicles module:

  • Tracks tire age by VIN
  • Logs replacement events
  • Flags vehicles approaching tread minimums based on usage

CFR citations

  • 49 CFR § 393.75

How Compass surfaces this

Searchable in Compass Ask. Runs against carrier fleet data when invoked from the relevant tracker. Read-only; no actions without explicit user approval.

Use this skill when the user asks about accident claims management — first-notice-of-loss procedures, working with insurance adjusters, claim severity classification, subrogation, claim closure timelines, and how to influence claim outcomes. Different from accident-investigation-playbook (which covers facts); this covers the insurance + claim side.
