Richmond Morning Tread Depth Check Before Rainy Commutes

Richmond mornings can switch from dry pavement to standing water fast, especially on heavily traveled routes. If your tread depth is low, braking distance grows and steering response gets vague in rain. Use a tread gauge across multiple grooves, not just the center, to catch uneven wear before it becomes a safety issue. If the reading is near replacement range, rotate or replace promptly so your contact patch stays predictable on wet asphalt.
