It really does not matter how many there are as there are several around the tire. When the tread wear indicators appear flush with the tread you have 1/16" tread left and should look to replace the tires very soon.

What are the 4 main characteristics of a tire tread?

The four main characteristics of a tire tread are tread pattern, tread depth, tread compound, and wear indicators. The tread pattern affects traction and handling performance, while tread depth impacts grip and water displacement. Tread compound refers to the rubber's formulation, influencing durability and performance in various conditions. Wear indicators help monitor tread wear, ensuring safe performance as the tire ages.

Why friction cause tread on tire wear down?

Friction between the tire and the road surface generates heat and causes wear on the tire tread. As tires grip the road during acceleration, braking, and turning, the rubber compounds in the tread gradually wear away. The constant contact and movement lead to the loss of material over time, resulting in reduced tread depth and performance. This wear can be exacerbated by factors such as driving habits, road conditions, and tire maintenance.
