Darn Speedy, you are doing well, I am at 6-7/32 at 1900 miles.:) I think 3/32 is about the limit as far as safe rain driving is concerned, especially since they are so wide. Just took of my wheels today to clean up a bit of rust around where the wheel touches the rotor: UGLY, there is no paint under the wheel or on the hub, and that area is a rusty mess. Good thing mine is only 6 months old.

2/32 is the legal depth. Also the service manual has a section on how the tread wear indicatiors look when it gets down to the nubs.

You guys would have a fun time driving up here in the rain country with only 3/32". :seeya
I never drive in the rain with less than 4/32". :nonod:
