Your tire gauge shows only 1/32 inch of tread left on your front tires. What does the manual say?
Correct answer: Replace them; a tire needs at least 1/16 inch of tread.
Why
Tread lets the tires grip the road for steering and stopping, and bad tread can lead to a blowout. New Jersey law also requires tires in safe operating condition and treats a tire as unsafe when its tread-wear indicators touch the road. Check tire pressure often, ideally when the tires are cold, and do not mix radials with other tire types.
