Need help badly and an answer quick

Hey guys,
I just picked up my wrx and im loving it but i think my dealer is trying to dick me over. On the tires for a vehicle to pass inspection, is there a way that i can measure the tread that the tire needs to have in order to pass inspection. I tried the dmv site and i couldn't find anything, (its useless) so i figured i would try you guys.
Thanks a lot
Matt

Thanks alot.
I know one of my tires will deffintiely fail, and i might get the inspector person to fail one of the other tires. This dealer started out nice and now its all gone down hill and im pist. Many other things i am finding out wrong with this car as time goes by and its only been about 4 days. Can anyone do a carfax report out there, any one got unlimited use.
Thanks
Matt
