Just Want to Piss & Moan

I'm thinking the Tech checked the thickness of the brake pads so he had to take the wheels off.

There are raised places in your tread grooves (about 3/32). When your tire wears down to these places it's considered "worn out". The proper depth check is from the top of one of those raised places. Did you check it there?

A Nissan dealer in their "Multi Point Inspection" said my front tires measured in the red zone. 6 months later I went to another dealer for my oil change and in their "Multi Point Inspection" my front tires were in the green zone. Go figure.
