The US regulates "wear bars" on tires, which make it a lot more obvious when tires need to be replaced.
I'm not saying that government regulation is needed, I'm just pointing out that the purpose of this tire feature is to make it more likely that people notice tire wear, and don't die from accidents involving bald tires.
