New tire, different tread depth... ?!?!?

Question:
I just had a tire blowout on the rear wheel of my sedan a couple of days ago. When I went to get a replacement tire, I told them I'd rather buy only one new tire if that was safe and logical... they told me that it was because they had an equivalent model in stock. They replaced it and everything looks fine, but I'm wondering - the tread looks quite different (significantly deeper) on the new tire. There is still plenty of tread left on the opposite tire (passes the penny and wear bar test easily) - i'm just wondering if the difference in the amount of tread creates any sort of unsafe situation. The size is the same, different brands. THANKS in advance!

Is LPG safe for cars? Do Automakers fit/ retrofit their tech in their vehicle?

no problem, especially since its on the rear axle. i would recommend you leave it on the rear though. it could cause a wandering problem if the rear tires were put on the front. but your safe so dont worry

What are "blind child" and "deaf child" warning signs?

Audi is they only manufacture that I know of that says you must replace tires in pairs only. The size may look big but its much smaller than you think and it will cause no problems.
