• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Hello. I’m getting my 20000 mile service done today. They told me my tire tread is at 6/32. How many more miles do you think I will get out of this set? Normal driving. No off-roading. I have a 2021 with AWD. Thanks in advance.
 
Really a personal choice.
Are the original tires getting noisier?
Do you drive in the rain often?
Do you drive in snow often?
If the answer to these Q's are yes, then buy new sooner rather than later.
My 2 cents.
 
Maybe 10k. You don’t want to go much below 4/32 unless you’re in a place that doesn’t rain.
 
Most dealers are very liberal in selling you new tires. I generally drive mine until they are done with a bit of caution. I have dedicated snow tires so that's not a problem. Generally the issue you have with less tread is decreased traction in the rain. If you drive cautiously and avoid high speeds in downfalls, you should be good until they fail. Your wallet and the environment will appreciate it.

Get yourself a cheap little tool and measure for yourself just to be sure.
The next question is ... when the time comes, what tires will you get? :)
