Before buying deep tread tires: more rubber to wear through
Deep tread tires are tires with more tread depth when new than standard tires of the same type. A typical new passenger tire starts at about 10/32 in. of tread; deep tread light truck and all-terrain tires start around 13/32 to 15/32 in., mud-terrain tires go deeper still, and deep tread truck drive tires start at about 26/32 to 32/32 in. Extra depth gives more rubber to wear before the tire reaches its legal limit.
What deep tread changes for the buyer
- Tread life: more depth means more miles before replacement, at the same wear rate.
- Snow and mud traction: deep grooves hold and release snow and clear mud longer into the tire's life.
- Rolling resistance and heat: tall tread blocks flex more under load, so deep tread tires use slightly more fuel and run warmer than shallow tread tires.
- Steering feel: tall blocks move more in corners, so deep tread tires steer less sharply than shallow performance tires.
Where buyers choose deep tread tires
Deep tread tires suit vehicles that rack up miles or work in snow, mud and gravel: pickups and SUVs on all-terrain and mud-terrain tires, regional and vocational trucks on drive tires, and drivers in snowy regions who want winter grip to last more seasons.
Legal tread limits to factor into the purchase
Most states set 2/32 in. as the minimum tread depth for passenger and light truck tires. FMCSA rules (49 CFR 393.75) set 4/32 in. for the front tires of trucks and buses and 2/32 in. for other commercial tires. A tire that starts deeper has more usable depth above those limits.
Comparing deep tread tires by cost per mile
Deep tread tires often cost more than standard tires of the same size, so buyers compare by cost per mile: the price divided by the miles the tread is expected to last. The treadwear warranty and the starting tread depth, listed in each tire's specifications, are the two numbers to compare.
Sizes and load range to match when ordering
Deep tread tires are ordered in the size and load index on the placard, or in the size and load range on the current truck tires, such as LT275/70R18 load range E or 11R22.5 load range G.
