    Calculating tire tread percentage

    When people calclulate tread percentage, do you calculate using the full tread depth (10/32" for a 10/32" tread tires) or 8/32" assuming most summer/all-season tires are said to be done at 2/32".
    So 2/32" would be considered 0% or 0" considered 0%?

    Same for winter tires, would 1/4" be considered 0% or 0"?

    Just curious.

        People are guessing. If they actually measured, they'd be giving you the depth in 32nds.
