Tires are built with wear bars in the tread. If any of these are showing, you will fail, don't even bother to measure. If they aren't showing, you will probably pass, depending on exactly what the safety wordings are. You don't state where you are. Tires are worn out when there is just 1.6-mm (2/32") tread depth remaining. Some states fail a tire at 3/32".

I assume that you are saying that your tires are 80% worn. I believe that the minimum legal tread depth is 3/32". That is the space of the edge of a penny to the top of Abe Lincoln's head. So if you stick the edge of the coin into the tread, and you can see the top of Lincoln's head then the tires are bad and you will fail on tread depth. Good luck

Decode for me, How was your car tires traction measured to come up with that number?

Yes it will fail.
If you only have 20% of the tire left your showing steel belts and probably cords as well.
Your tires are a real safety issue.

that's pretty close ,id say its real close to failing on the tires part of it,they usually require at least 50% to be on them to pass inspection,you can try it though,they might let it slip through like this,but i doubt it,good luck on it though.

You still have inspection in your state? Yes it will fail.
