I’m not very familiar with truck tires, so I hope you don’t mind my basic question and that you can help me assess this. For a car tire, I would say it’s worn out and needs to be replaced. Would you say the same for this truck tire, or does it still have enough tread for another 15,000 kilometers (9,320 miles)? Thanks a lot :-)
Thanks, regards

HilfeHilfe18 Nov 2021 05:26well, that already looks really bad
Dents usually result from impact fractures, meaning that something has hit the surface somewhere and damaged the structure beneath.
No idea about the profile. Measure it and look up the relevant regulations and recommendations.
You could probably remove the small "stone" as well, unless it's a load-bearing component ;-)

And the profile is already worn down. The markings for the minimum depth are partially worn off.
They're simply finished.

Seven198418 Nov 2021 08:02Thank you for the opinions. The tires don’t belong to me, but the dents were probably caused on my construction site, and the owner would like new tires at my expense. However, since the tires, as you already mentioned, are worn out, I don’t see it that way. I am on the same page regarding the minimum tread depth; I just wasn’t sure if the rules are different for trucks since I don’t really have any knowledge about tires. They should roll properly and have enough tread – I don’t have any other opinions about tires. 🙂 But sorry, I should have explained this better in the first post – it was misleading that way. 🙂
