And yes, I have run bald tires alongside new tires. Not the best idea, but these drivetrains aren't made by Chevy.

Did even realize that factory spec. So, would it be a reach to just throw on a new tire?

I might be in luck and found a used tire, same tread depth and looks to be in a very similar condition as the rest. Exact same sizes and width. Crossing fingers, but think this will be a good route for me.

But yes, definitely want to avoid any drivetrain/axel/binding issues in the long run since the car is still pretty new.
