I went To Ronnie's Automotive in Billerica, MA for an oil change and a state inspection. They told me I would fail the state inspection because my rear tires would not pass--they said they were too bald. I asked them for the actual tread depth, and was given some vague qualitative answer that they would not pass. BS. They were REALLY encouraging me to buy new tires (they gave me an estimate) and then to get the inspection done, said they could do it all the same day. I said no thanks.
