J.P. They still have about half of their original tread depth. Brand new, they have only 3 or 4/32s tread depth and these still have about 2/32". I've read reports that they work even better when all the tread is gone, but I don't know how you'd determine just how much rubber you had until you could see some cord showing, and that would be a little umcomfortable for me. They worked real well with my "little motor" (402) but the big'un just makes too much bottom end torque for them. I went with some 345.55.15's that are 2" taller and 2" wider and they do a pretty respectable job after they've heated up. The ones I'm selling are 28" tall and about 11" wide.
