What is the typical tread depth for replacement on these trucks? For cars back the day, they said to stick a penny in the tread and if the top of Lincoln's head didn't go in it was time for some new tires. I'm thinking that's kind of late for these big trucks. Is there a rule of thumb for these or just a personal choice? I want to be safe but I don't want to spend a lot of money on tires I don't need to.
Here in CO you need a tread depth of 3/16" to meet traction laws on some of our highways like I-70 when it's snowing so we need to replace tires earlier here. Not sure if any other states have rules like this.
Just replaced the tires on my wifes Ram 1500.
They were Goodyear Wranglers and probably had about 4/32 of tread that weren't that good on snow and ice here in MT.
Bought new Wrangler Ultraterrains and what a difference on the tread depth compared to the old ones.
Change them when or before they are worn down to the wear bars or according to the manual six years old max. Tire manufacturers say ten years max. I've been to tire shops that won’t touch a tire that’s over seven years old.

Love my Ultraterrains as well. Will be my go to tire for a while.
The Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrain are good tires that I got 50k miles from 2 different sets on the '21' F350.
When I got the last set of tires from Discount Tire they didn't have those so went with Cooper Discoverer ATP II. A little cheaper than the Goodyear. Ride on the Cooper's very good and quiet.
These have 30k miles on them so far and wearing great. They're a 60k warranty tire and appears they'll get that.
The feel, traction and wear of these tires convinced me to put a set on the '16' F350 dually because they're doing so well on the '21' F350 srw.
