What's your tread depth at 5k on stock KO3s?

Just passed 5k miles and my tires are down to 11/32. What are you seeing on your stock KO3s?

Edit: apparently I was wrong

I'm only at 3K miles and haven't measured yet. That's pretty significant wear since they started at 15/32.

Yeah, that's why I am asking. I haven't been off-road yet and 90% have been highway miles (50-85mph). I don't do much hard acceleration and try to drive conservatively (~18mpg).

I'll measure mine time permitting even at 3K miles... I mash the fun pedal as often as possible, but do have a lot of highway miles too.

I measured one of mine this morning at 200 miles and it shows 14/32 on my treadwear gauge.

Mine was 11/32 at 4,4xx miles, but I just rounded up to 5k.

I am at 5,200 now and have a depth gauge coming from Amazon today. I will check and update when able.

I was going to do the same to measure for myself so I can confirm what the paperwork said.

Update: I'm not sure if the tech had a bad gauge, but I just measured my tread depth and I am between 13.25 and 14+/32nds (highest my Amazon gauge goes is 14/32nds). I verified the accuracy of my gauge with Mitutoyo calipers.

Good to know, thanks for the update. I'll see what mine are next week.

Same for me, they measure 13-14/32nds.

I am at 12/32nds all around at 18,500miles. If the KO3's are anything like my previous KO2's on my 4Runner they will age out/dry rot before I get down to the wear bars.

Mine has 11K miles on it now and just measured the tires, all around 13/32. (Nearly all on pavement.)
