Tread depth difference across the same axel?

What is the acceptable difference in tread depth between two tires across an axel ?

I have a 2002 4x4 SR5 tundra

 

There is no limit for FGTs. Just be sure your tires are legal and up to par for anticipated driving conditions.

 

Thanks for the response! What does "FGT" stand for?

 

Divided by pi and figured it out. Ha never seen it referred to as that way.

Is it okay to put those two tires on the drive axel or would it be better to put on the front axel?

 

You could limp it home with two different tire sizes, let alone tread depth. Not ideal but you have open differentials, just don’t put it in 4x4 or anything.


FGT = First Gen Tundra

 

So I have one tire with tread depth of 11/32 and another that is 15/32. My plan was to put these on the same axel (rear) and drive as usual (occasional 4x4 in the winter on slick roads) for the remaining life of the tire. Would that be okay or would it damage the vehicle.

 

4/32s is negligible. It’s not even enough for the ecu to think anything is different. Typically, there’s a 3% tolerance (overall rotational speed) from one side to the other before the ecu picks up speed variations.

 

8th is fine. Run it.

 

Awesome, thank you all!
