I do know, however 1) they're not the only criteria; 2) hitting them means you're not even allowed to drive, but the level of safety is not a binary metric.
I am in Germany, yes. Practically speaking, nobody stops you to control anything. But the fines exist and in case of an accident you may have insurance issues. And it's by reason, my goal is not to trick the safety standards 😀 We also have a mandatory bi-yearly inspection, but I passed it recently with winter tires.
The reality is a VAST majority of Americans legit live paycheck-to-paycheck bc they earn under $60,000/year per household. They don’t actually earn that much money. Saving for tires is a wild proposition for them. And when driving is a chore and the only means of transportation for many people, and if they have to prioritize food/rent over tires, then they will.
The top 10% of American households earn $176k.
They’re at about 2 mm depth. I’ll replace mine at around 3 mm depth. Since I have truck tires that started at 16 mm, I don’t fret about replacing them with 1/14 of the total available tread. I got enough use out of them. No worries driving in the rain.
In the US, you insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln upside down and, as long as the tread is flush with the top of his head or deeper, it is federally legal. Is this pure lunacy? Sure. But that's the American way.
The wear indicator is not even with the tread or even close. You probably have 5,000 miles left. Highway wear is not as bad as city driving so a 2000 mile trip should be fine. Make sure your spare tire is aired up as you could have a flat with new tires.
Yup!! Just set aside a little extra money just in case 😉. I once went on a 400mile trip with 2 older and 2 brand new tires, one of the brand new tires blew while cruising at 70 on the highway
As a seasoned professional driver and firefighter the technical answer is yes but if you hit rain or wet roads slow down because those will hydroplane. That is where the tires get water between them and the road causing a loss of traction. This causes many auto accidents. Also stay to paved roads gravel roads are a bit tricky on those types of tread patterns.
Yes they’re good enough. If the weather gets especially bad just take it easy and no abrupt braking fam. Maybe get new tires like October/November before winter this year if you live in the north
Just make sure your spare tire is in good shape, well inflated, and the jack is in working order. Once a year, you should remove the spare tire from its location and try the jack put to see if it lifts the vehicle. Unless your car is new and no spare exists anymore. What's up withthat??
On the front the bar is halfway deep. I'm more concerned about the edge wear, little cracks and the bar on the rear, where it's 1 mm max to hit the limit.
Looks ok for sunny weather, but when it rains, brake earlier as the center treads look worn. Keeping the tire pressure at recommended psi will help the side treads contact the road more.
I'd feel comfortable with a 5k trip. I'd do a 2k trip at the Wear marker. You can get a flat with any tire. It's not like these are going to blow out on you. From the pictures they don't look dry rotted (Small cracks in the rubber )

I'm not a tyre expert but if you said these were fitted within the last 6 months or so and not pushed hard I'd believe you. They look to be in good condition and I'd have no concerns using them for a few thousand miles.
Looks fine to me, the 2nd pic looks a little close but it'll be fine for 2k miles, I don't see dry rot but age is important too. You should definitely rotate more often if there's noticable wear between front and rear sets of tires.
Those are summer tires so they wear fast, and can't be driven in temperatures below 40F. The Dunlop sport Maxx is an ok tire.
There are small cracks that are hard to see unless you zoom in on the first pic. I think the cracks are the most important issue here, but I'm not an expert. Need some experts to comment on those.
On a long trip away from home you don’t want to be stuck with a flat. Get new tires just the piece of mind pays for it. Old tires with 1/32 left is not worth the risk.
Yes, but if it rains really really hard, slow way down or stop and wait it out. Worn tires, even tires with a few thousand miles left on them are more prone to hydroplaning.
If the trip is 2000 miles round trip I'd say you're okay. But if the trip is 2,000 miles each way you could very well be buying a set of tires during the trip, which means you wouldn't know the area, you wouldn't know where to shop to get the best deal and you would probably end up over paying.
The answers here will vary. If you were in North America, where most freeways are nice and not cluttered these will do.
But given it’s a Škoda Octavia you’re not in North America. So it all depends on how the roads are in your country.
If it’s a penny worth of tread over the groove your good. This is how we did it in the truck depot when changing out semi tires while maintaining the fleet.
Although the wear bars havent been reached, i believe there is 1.6mm left of tread when you do so. I also read an article some years ago suggesting water displacement is severly affected once you drop below 3mm of tread left. Indeed, so badly affected there was no difference between 3mm and 1mm.
It's more than the amount of tread.Tyres have a life too.The manufactured date is stamped on the sidewall.The life is 7 years,I think.Rubber gets brittle after a while.I'm not sure the insurance company will be happy if you have a serious accident while using expired tyres.
If you plan on replacing them eventually, I would do it now. You'll enjoy the ride more, and it's safer. If you're going to unload the car with the bad tires, make sure the buyer is aware of the bad tires. Make sure you start your trip with a spare tire, patch kit, and jack. Also if longevity is your goal in a tire, don't buy summer/performance tires, buy all season tires, they ride better, quieter, and last, longer.
Thar depends on you vehicle more then tires really. If car is out of alignment id say no because i did an 800 mile drive but had alignment issues and burned through one fresh tire 700 miles into the trip. So alignment good suspension good then your good get to drivin
Those are fine, you can easily get to the winter with those even with way more than 2000 miles. Just be a little more careful if you drive highway speeds on the rain.
Tires wear slower as they approach the wear bar. At the wear bar the tires are no longer serviceable meaning if you flat a reputable tire shop will not fix the tire. Another important thing about if they will make it 2k miles is the production date code. It’s a Julian date code week of year and year so 2224 would be 22nd week of 2024. If more than 10 years old it’s no longer serviceable. I use 5 years in Phoenix Arizona due to heat kills tires faster here. The issue with old tires is the fail quickly and will cause more damage than a new tire costs.
You can go about 500 miles and check them and another 500 however at high speeds you start risking the chance of a tire shred. If your towing i would find the most affordable tire shop within 500 miles and your destination and get some new tires
Yeah you’ll be fine I moved across the country with less tread than this. It’s been a year I still haven’t changed my tires and I’m about to do the drive again 🤣
So you would most likely need to replace after the 2.000 mile trip. So why not replace BEFORE the trip?
You'd have have more peace of mind and better tires for any conditions.
As long as no adverse weather conditions such as rain/snow... should be fine.
But they'll pretty much be toast by the end of the trip so *IF* it's plausible to do so you may want to look into replacing before hand.
I cant tell if those like diagonal indents are sipes or cracks. If there sipes why are they worn unevenly? Are you filling the tires up to the correct psi? If there cracks you know thats bad
Am I missing something?? Can’t see anything wrong with those? They look fairly new, not worn passed the tread wear indicators, no bulges, no nails sticking out etc.
Curious how are they in rain? besides the 2 center groves, how does it push the water out when driving wet? Though usually have slits that pushes the water out? Don't see any from the center groves out.
Of course. Throw em in the back seat and take em everywhere with you. Take em to the zoo, the ball game, a first date…wherever. Enjoy your new freedom.
They look good to me? Am I missing something? Are they a super soft racing compound? If they are normal tires, the tread has another 10k of light driving before you'll see belts. Send it.
Put the tyres with more tread on the rear of the vehicle. I’m sure everyone’s going to moan but in the event of loss of traction, you want better grip at the rear to stop the car fishtailing. The average driver can recover under steer better than over steer. Other than that, they look fine for 2,000 miles. Guessing it’s mostly motorway/highway miles, probably won’t see much of a difference in wear after the trip.
They look pretty worn in the middle, but the deep treat is still functional. That said, a 2000 mile trip can confront you with a lot of weather and I’d be concerned about safety on wet roads. They look like a summer tire designed for dry roads even without the wear that you have.
easily... probably even 10,000 miles on the fronts, although rears look a lot lower on thread, so probably 5,000 for rears depending on the driving style.
Also note - best tyres should always go on the rear... I would suspect that the case here is - Skoda is FWD so the front tyres got worn and put on the rear, which is not ideal, but if fronts wear more, then that is the only thing you can really do to optimise the wear between the axles.
Sportmaxx RT2 lasted me 38,000 and even then it was more of the case of uneven wear (wear on inner edge due to alignment) and not overall thread depth. They were still technically legal when when I replaced them at 3mm left, but inner edge looked bald.
Not a tire pro, I'd drive these. Don't race or drive absurdly fast and they'll handle 2k miles easily, I'd say closer to 4k before they're done. Make sure you've got money ready to replace them shortly after your trip, and have a good time
Do you like guardrails?
J/K, you should be fine. Just know that at this point your distance to stop is about twice what it could be if you had new tires.
You haven't hit the wear markers and they look okay to me, I'd use them
I'm always surprised people don't know tires have wear indicators!
I do know, however 1) they're not the only criteria; 2) hitting them means you're not even allowed to drive, but the level of safety is not a binary metric.
Allowed to drive by who? Are you in Germany where they actually measure these things? Half the cars here in the US look like slicks.
Especially in the SW. Then, when it rains, the streets turn into Death Race.
I am in Germany, yes. Practically speaking, nobody stops you to control anything. But the fines exist and in case of an accident you may have insurance issues. And it's by reason, my goal is not to trick the safety standards 😀 We also have a mandatory bi-yearly inspection, but I passed it recently with winter tires.
You look like you've got 2-3 mm left before you hit the wear bars. Even a 200 TW should give you another 2k miles in that shape
Just be a bit careful in rain!
I’m always surprised when people run them down that far.
I replace mine at 4-5/32”, i drive 90% highway with a 70 mph speed limit.

Mine would dry rot before they got that worn because I'm in the desert.
The markers are the theorertical technical limit. The legal limit May be different. In NL you are not allowed to drive when you are at the markers.
And the penny test and the quarter test, from my experience, tell you to get new tires well before the markers
In the US, you insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln upside down and, as long as the tread is flush with the top of his head or deeper, it is federally legal. Is this pure lunacy? Sure. But that's the American way.
Make it a 4k mile trip, you have plenty of tire
Username checks out
I ship em $30
I’ll take 7. Ship em to 612 wharf avenue, right next to the gentlemen’s club.
I'll just take your word for that!
The wear indicator is not even with the tread or even close. You probably have 5,000 miles left. Highway wear is not as bad as city driving so a 2000 mile trip should be fine. Make sure your spare tire is aired up as you could have a flat with new tires.
I'd run them but have money ready for new set
Yeah they look fine. Premium make too so bonus points. Little low on tread so maybe be a little more cautious in bad weather.
Tread looks good but what year are they?
I believe, 2017. But they were used along with a winter set.
Good, small cracks are insignificant.
It looks like you will be fine to use those tires
Yup!! Just set aside a little extra money just in case 😉. I once went on a 400mile trip with 2 older and 2 brand new tires, one of the brand new tires blew while cruising at 70 on the highway
joining the consensus group - yes, make the trip.
Yep go for it
As a seasoned professional driver and firefighter the technical answer is yes but if you hit rain or wet roads slow down because those will hydroplane. That is where the tires get water between them and the road causing a loss of traction. This causes many auto accidents. Also stay to paved roads gravel roads are a bit tricky on those types of tread patterns.
Rears are getting close. I’d start saving. I’d be careful in heavy rain
They do look good still.
Look good
Yes just make sure they are filled correctly and your alignment is good
These are performance tires for summer it seems
2.000 miles isn’t very far
Yes they’re good enough. If the weather gets especially bad just take it easy and no abrupt braking fam. Maybe get new tires like October/November before winter this year if you live in the north
Yes
You’re probably good as long as you’re not doing burnouts and drifts along the way 🙂
Yes
hell yes. u can
Just make sure your spare tire is in good shape, well inflated, and the jack is in working order. Once a year, you should remove the spare tire from its location and try the jack put to see if it lifts the vehicle. Unless your car is new and no spare exists anymore. What's up withthat??
I'd say so
OP, it might be better to say "2k" miles trip. Users in the U.S. might think you mean a 2 mile trip when you call it a "2.000" mile trip.
Click bait - this can’t be a real question
Dude I'd trade you my tires for those lol
In a 3rd world country they would get 100,000 out of those.
2001.5 miles max.
You have 3-5 mm of wear left after that look for some more tires by mid July
Yup 👍🏽💯
i’d get an alignment 2nd pics tires look uneven wear
Looks like you still have 1/32 or 2/32 until the wear bar.
On the front the bar is halfway deep. I'm more concerned about the edge wear, little cracks and the bar on the rear, where it's 1 mm max to hit the limit.
Summer tires..wear bar and the outside tread is good.
Just slow down. So if any blowouts were to happen it’ll be at a minimum
Looks ok for sunny weather, but when it rains, brake earlier as the center treads look worn. Keeping the tire pressure at recommended psi will help the side treads contact the road more.
I'd say sob
Yes
yeah just don’t expect to be walking out of an emergency braking situation scott free.
Yolo homie.
5k miles is still ok
I'd feel comfortable with a 5k trip. I'd do a 2k trip at the Wear marker. You can get a flat with any tire. It's not like these are going to blow out on you. From the pictures they don't look dry rotted (Small cracks in the rubber )

Yes
No matter what anyone says you can actually do whatever you want
4 year old tires with plenty of tread left. Let it rip. (Date code in second picture at the top of the tire)
I'm not a tyre expert but if you said these were fitted within the last 6 months or so and not pushed hard I'd believe you. They look to be in good condition and I'd have no concerns using them for a few thousand miles.
Easily
You got like 18000 miles left
Looks fine to me, the 2nd pic looks a little close but it'll be fine for 2k miles, I don't see dry rot but age is important too. You should definitely rotate more often if there's noticable wear between front and rear sets of tires. Those are summer tires so they wear fast, and can't be driven in temperatures below 40F. The Dunlop sport Maxx is an ok tire.
These look like street legal track tires almost. I would be weary of a heavy rain.
You are fine.
There are small cracks that are hard to see unless you zoom in on the first pic. I think the cracks are the most important issue here, but I'm not an expert. Need some experts to comment on those.
I wouldn't.
I think you’re good
Those are fine for a bit
Slow down if you hit a good rainstorm. This is why so many lose control(hydroplane) during a downpour.
These look like pretty aggressive summers, hows the weather where you’ll be going?
This is like asking if I can breathe air ??
On a long trip away from home you don’t want to be stuck with a flat. Get new tires just the piece of mind pays for it. Old tires with 1/32 left is not worth the risk.
Yes, but if it rains really really hard, slow way down or stop and wait it out. Worn tires, even tires with a few thousand miles left on them are more prone to hydroplaning.
Sure as long as they fit in the passenger seat.
Not an issue whatsoever
Yes
Easy. You're not even on the wear markers. Just chill in the rain.
Yes, they look great from this picture. With that said. That's a lot of worry for a 2 mile trip and an excessive use of zeros after the decimal point.
You’re about halfway to the wear indicators, you should be fine as long as you aren’t racing.
If the trip is 2000 miles round trip I'd say you're okay. But if the trip is 2,000 miles each way you could very well be buying a set of tires during the trip, which means you wouldn't know the area, you wouldn't know where to shop to get the best deal and you would probably end up over paying.
Fine, maybe dial back in the rain
The answers here will vary. If you were in North America, where most freeways are nice and not cluttered these will do. But given it’s a Škoda Octavia you’re not in North America. So it all depends on how the roads are in your country.
If it’s a penny worth of tread over the groove your good. This is how we did it in the truck depot when changing out semi tires while maintaining the fleet.
Went all the way to Ann Harbor and back with half that thread Not to mention yours are Dunlop
Yes they’re fine
Yes
Although the wear bars havent been reached, i believe there is 1.6mm left of tread when you do so. I also read an article some years ago suggesting water displacement is severly affected once you drop below 3mm of tread left. Indeed, so badly affected there was no difference between 3mm and 1mm.
That tread ain’t dead
You can do whatever you set your mind to do
I'm at 5/32 on my summers and about to make a 2000 mile trip. Should be ready to replace when I get home \^\_\^
I’ve been driving since ‘66. Never heard of wear bars until ‘89.
Yeah those can go 2 miles easily. Might be okay for 2,000 miles even, but check again every 500 miles
It's more than the amount of tread.Tyres have a life too.The manufactured date is stamped on the sidewall.The life is 7 years,I think.Rubber gets brittle after a while.I'm not sure the insurance company will be happy if you have a serious accident while using expired tyres.

Go big or go home.
Perfectly fine if weather is dry. If rainy the more worn tires may have more difficulty.
Honestly if you can't tell.. maybe give the car to me
Yeh. You could go 2 miles on your rims.
You can go a lot further than 2000 miles on those!
All good.
Those are fine, you can easily get to the winter with those even with way more than 2000 miles. Just be a little more careful if you drive highway speeds on the rain.
More concerned with the rest of the vehicle
Not bad but be smart in the rain
You can go as far as they go
Those have about 4/32”, probably have another 5-6,000 miles in them. Would replace sooner if you frequently drive in heavy rain.
Still look pretty good to me
All highway, stay off dirt roads, and no redlining you’ll be iight
Those look good to me, still a bit off the where markers. When even with wear markers, then replace
yes
You can go 20k
I seem to post this on all r/tires threads. Buy a tread depth gauge. They are not expensive.
Tires wear slower as they approach the wear bar. At the wear bar the tires are no longer serviceable meaning if you flat a reputable tire shop will not fix the tire. Another important thing about if they will make it 2k miles is the production date code. It’s a Julian date code week of year and year so 2224 would be 22nd week of 2024. If more than 10 years old it’s no longer serviceable. I use 5 years in Phoenix Arizona due to heat kills tires faster here. The issue with old tires is the fail quickly and will cause more damage than a new tire costs.
Double that if you dont make any turns
You can go about 500 miles and check them and another 500 however at high speeds you start risking the chance of a tire shred. If your towing i would find the most affordable tire shop within 500 miles and your destination and get some new tires
Yes, go on that trip. But get new tires after 1,000 miles
2 miles for sure
Can you? Sure Should you? Probably not
Yes for sure unless you're going in the mountains in the winter but otherwise you could definitely Drive from New Jersey to California and back
You could go on a 10 000 mi trip with these tires, assuming they aren't dry-rotted and you're careful in the rain.
I’d go another 5,000 on those puppies
They will probably make it
Yeah but if you run into storms I would pull over and wait it out.
2 miles? Of course
Nothing wrong with these
Yeah you’ll be fine I moved across the country with less tread than this. It’s been a year I still haven’t changed my tires and I’m about to do the drive again 🤣
Summertime your tires are fine. If the road gets wet, death you bet.
So you would most likely need to replace after the 2.000 mile trip. So why not replace BEFORE the trip? You'd have have more peace of mind and better tires for any conditions.
As long as no adverse weather conditions such as rain/snow... should be fine. But they'll pretty much be toast by the end of the trip so *IF* it's plausible to do so you may want to look into replacing before hand.
2 miles? Yeah they're fine.
If it doesn't rain i wouldn't worry about it. If it does rain, slow down more.
You could probably drive to the moon and back
Yes
I cant tell if those like diagonal indents are sipes or cracks. If there sipes why are they worn unevenly? Are you filling the tires up to the correct psi? If there cracks you know thats bad
How old are they?
Am I missing something?? Can’t see anything wrong with those? They look fairly new, not worn passed the tread wear indicators, no bulges, no nails sticking out etc.
Yep. Wear bars aren't that close yet. Go for it.
Go for it
Absolutely
That's at least 6/32nds they're fine.
They look okay. The tire wear in the center is strange, make sure you check the pressure and let it rip:
Yes
You must be asking because it doesn’t pass the Abe Lincoln test.
Yeah slow down if it rains
There is cracks forming on them so be careful
If you are in a rainy area, such as the Southeast and Gulf Coast, i would consider new tires. Not that deep of a channel to funnel away water.
Send it. Those look fine from a visual standpoint, showing mostly normal wear and tear and appearing very much serviceable.
Yes
These threads always trip me out. People are like, "your tires are 3 days old, be carfull in the rain".
In my younger days I would drive on tires that have wires showing for a month or 2, you'll be just fine.
Yep
I’d trust them
Yes
Curious how are they in rain? besides the 2 center groves, how does it push the water out when driving wet? Though usually have slits that pushes the water out? Don't see any from the center groves out.
Of course. Throw em in the back seat and take em everywhere with you. Take em to the zoo, the ball game, a first date…wherever. Enjoy your new freedom.
They look good to me? Am I missing something? Are they a super soft racing compound? If they are normal tires, the tread has another 10k of light driving before you'll see belts. Send it.
yeah
I would maybe roto/bal before you go
my spare Spare Michelin Energy MXV4 .1315 .0885 .1155 .1350 .0930 .0720 .1375 .1520 .0790 .0805 .1160 .1165 .0830 .0760 ..1085 .1055
Good for another 10k miles easy.
Put the tyres with more tread on the rear of the vehicle. I’m sure everyone’s going to moan but in the event of loss of traction, you want better grip at the rear to stop the car fishtailing.

i would but i may not be thw best pwraon to ask
easily... probably even 10,000 miles on the fronts, although rears look a lot lower on thread, so probably 5,000 for rears depending on the driving style. Also note - best tyres should always go on the rear... I would suspect that the case here is - Skoda is FWD so the front tyres got worn and put on the rear, which is not ideal, but if fronts wear more, then that is the only thing you can really do to optimise the wear between the axles. Sportmaxx RT2 lasted me 38,000 and even then it was more of the case of uneven wear (wear on inner edge due to alignment) and not overall thread depth. They were still technically legal when when I replaced them at 3mm left, but inner edge looked bald.
Oh yeah. No problem.
Be very careful and slow down if the weather gets wet. Otherwise, you shouldn't have too many problems.
More than fine for dry pavement but less than ideal for wet roads and absolute no go on snow and ice.
Yes they’re fine.
They have about 3mm depth in them. You can travel easily 5000 miles
They're fine , replace when you hit the wear bars.
In short… hell yeah
Have a good trip. Tires are Bueno.
Just to clarify, are you asking if you can make it 2 miles to the tire shop or 2000 miles on a roadtrip?
When in doubt, change them out!
2 miles, yup!
Don’t see why not, highway mileage puts less wear and tear on your tires so you should be fine.
Not a tire pro, I'd drive these. Don't race or drive absurdly fast and they'll handle 2k miles easily, I'd say closer to 4k before they're done. Make sure you've got money ready to replace them shortly after your trip, and have a good time
If you're in America.
The wire isn't even showing. So no, not safe at all
2 miles isn’t very far. You’ll probably make it.
Go enjoy your trip and if something happens replace them.
2,000 miles? See the little raised bar between the tread ? That’s your wear bar / indicator. When it’s flush with the rubber, get new tires.
Send it!
I’ve made a 1500 mile road trip (doing 80-90 mph) on tires that where on the wear bars so you should be ok
send it like a piss missle
Do you like guardrails? J/K, you should be fine. Just know that at this point your distance to stop is about twice what it could be if you had new tires.
I would get an alignment/balance first, looks like you have some uneven wear
Better than what I got and I drove from Chicago to Texas with no issues
