Question
How does tire tread depth affect TPMS readings?
Answer
Worn tread (≤2/32”) doesn’t impact readings, but uneven wear may indicate pressure issues.
Explain
Uneven tread (e.g., more wear on shoulders) suggests chronic underinflation—TPMS data helps correlate tread wear to pressure trends. CHEPQ tools flag “tread-pressure mismatches” for further inspection.
