My GT came with bald tires on the front and now i put snow tires on them and i've never had bald tires on the '84. I hate having bald tires so i usually buy new ones as soon as they get down to around to 3 or 4/32nds tread (usually they start around 10/32 with the 55/60 series tires i buy). The only car i've had with bald tires was my '83 Mercury Zephyr and that was because i'd power brake it quite often (facing down hill in reverse with silicone lubricant sprayed on the ground ) and that was only because i was selling it for $300 to a friend. It's too easy to hydroplane and lose control around where i live (crappy roads, lots of rain, lots of other cars on the road around here near seattle).
