Tire Wear Question
I have a set of BFG gForce tires. Really like them and my question is, at what wear point (tread depth) does the performance start to degrade to the point where performance and "stickiness" in cornering would be a safety concern. I am not talking about HPDE type driving just normal agressive cornering from time to time while enjoying a few curvy roads? I have 7/32 of tread left on the fronts anf 6/32 left on the rears.

Guys that road race in SCCA classes that require DOT street tires will actually shave down new tires to a minimum tread depth- they need to show "some" tread at the end of the race. Less tread block squirm- sort of approaches a slick tire. Not good in the rain!
