Oval "Holes" of varying depth on Direzza Z1 SS Center Strip?
Ive noticed on mine and all other Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec, along the center tread strip, there are 4 sets, 3 holes each, varying depth. What are these for?
2nd tire from top, 2 sets are visible, 3rd tire from top, 1 set is visible. Pretty visible here

They look like tread depth holes. Stick something in them, they should be differing depths.

No, but since those aren't labeled it's easier to measure than it is to find your tire owners manual and look it up.
I like the nokian ones, they have the number of millimeters of tread left stamped in the tire in a similar manner - the largest number showing is the amount of tread you have left. |

I'm with Scotty. 3 holes = more than 3/4 tread 2 holes = more than 1/2 tread 1 hole = more than 1/4 tread 0 holes = buy new tires. |
