If your tire is under-inflated by as little as 6 psi:
* Uneven tire wear
* 5% reduction in MPGs
* Tire wear is accelerated by as much as 25%
* Tire failure or Blow out

3/32nds is the magic number. When the tread is 3/32 its time for new tires.
How can you tell if your tire is at 3/32nds?
Well most tires have wear indicators. Which are horizontal rubber strips that are recessed in the tread. When these bars become even with the tread you tread depth is 3/32nds.
