tire tread depth question
#6
Assuming that the one tire needs to be replaced, you should consider the wear rate on your tires. The other tire has a max of 3/32 of an inch to go before it will have to be replaced. Is it worth replacing one tire with a used one and then replacing both in the next year? I'm not suggesting one choice over the other, but think it makes sense to think it through.

You may want to take a look at these articles at Tire Rack:

Edit: You didn't mention what part of the country you live/drive in. If you have to deal with snow or heavy rain, you might want to think about new tires.
