The only time this would be correct is if the tires are the exact same make/model/size. Tread depth when comparing different tires is meaningless, as they can have significantly different circumferences even though the stated "size" is the same. Rolling circumference is what affects the transfer case. Some tire mfgrs will state this as revolutions per mile.
