What is the min amount of tread you need to pass PA safety inspection? Inspection is up but not sure if my tires would pass. If anyone has some input, it'd be great. Thanks.

Minimum tread depth to pass a pa state inspection is 2/32.

And that's all the way across the tread
You could have 8 in the middle and 1 on the inner edge anthey fail

actually your wrong on that. it can be 1/32 on edge, 8 in middle and 1 on other edge and pass. to fail it needs to have 2/32or less on adjacent treeads to fail. litterally need to be beside each other. or if secondary rubber is showing on edge it fail automatically or if a nail is in a non repairable spot on tire it fails
