Its mostly a guess, far higher in the eyes of the seller than the buyer. There's no wear bar on the tire, but the tire manuals from Firestone http://www.firestoneag.com/tiredata/index.html and Goodyear http://www.goodyear.com/nat/i_want_tires/farm/expert/expert.html among others do show a lug height in inches. And a loaded radius so by measuring either of those one might come closer to a real wear number though loaded radius is modified a lot by air pressure and load. Gerald J.
