check the treadwear
indicators, which will

You need a new tire if
You can see the indicators at three or more places
around the tire.
You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire's
rubber.
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep
enough to show cord or fabric.
The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
0
