A safe tread depth on your Toyota tires depends on the type of tires you have. Typically, new tires have tread depths somewhere between 10/32 or 11/32 of an inch. But if you have a Toyota 4Runner or Toyota Tacoma and have heavy-duty tires for off-roading in the Palm Beach County area or often drive during winter conditions, you have much deeper tread grooves for better traction. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) states that a safe tire tread depth is around 2/32 of an inch or more. If your everyday Toyota tires are less than that, you likely need a new set of tires. Contact the Earl Stewart Toyota parts department to order your new Toyota tires today.
