Off the market
Sold my Style 58s but kept the Dunlop M2 winter tires 265/55/18. They have about 4-4.5 mm left on them. I will sell the Dunlops with my 74s. Asking $650 for the package or $400 w/o tires. Buyer pays shipping.

I will post some pictures once I have the M2s mounted on the style 74 wheels.

Here are a couple of pictures what they look like and on the car.

Two requests..
Could you take a photo with a coin (ie, a penny) in the center of the tread so I can get a better feel for how much "meat" is left..? (1 winter, 2..more?)
Where in MD are you located, and might you consider a meet part way (I'm in Central)..?
Thanks
ed

I measured the lowest point I could find which 4/32. They are fairly evenly worn as I switch them front to back frequently.

No, you're not.

Winter Tech - Measuring Tire Tread Depth with a Tire Gauge

See step 5 of the linked-to article.

I guess your right.. But you would if you wanted to know the actual useable tread remaining. Most people do not know that a tire is deemed unuseable and dangerous at 2/32 (at the wear bar).

You're right about "usable tread", but the convention remains that the total tread is measured.

It is up to the buyer to remember that

2/32 is the legal limit
4/32 is the minimum safe tread for wet roads
6/32 is the minimum safe tread for winter tires in snowy weather
