tire tread depth question

[macphanatic]

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.

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.
