What is the minimum tread-groove depth for a commercial vehicle tire that is not on a front wheel?
Correct answer: B. – 2/32 inch
Federal equipment regulations require at least 2/32 inch of tread-groove depth for commercial vehicle tires other than those covered by the front-wheel rule. Front tires on buses, trucks, and truck tractors require at least 4/32 inch. These minimums apply to commercial vehicles operating in Wyoming, with measurements taken in a major tread groove away from tie bars, humps, or fillets.
