Procedure:
Tire tread depth readings shall be taken in two adjacent major grooves showing the most tread wear. Readings for a tire which has the tread design running across the tire or for a siped tire wear such tread design is permitted, shall be taken at or near the center of the tire. Inspect all tires mounted on vehicles (do not inspect spare
Reject if:
Any tire is worn to less than 2/32 of an inch of major tread design at the two worst adjacent points at which the gauge readings are obtained. However, the front tires of a motor vehicle, (other than a trailer), with an MGW of 10,000 pounds or more, or a truck tractor, must not be worn to less than 4/32 of an inch of major tread design at the two points at which the gauge readings are obtained.

So if a tire is worn in one valley because of alignment, it is still ok? Or if one center tread is worn?
