Default Minimum tread for snow

Hello fellas, I was planning on taking the family up to Big bear tomorrow but my front tires are at between 4/32-5/32 at the center but still have a lot of tread at the edges ( mud terrains). Do you guys think this a little to low? Thanks

I recently took my 35" Cooper STT's in 12-16" of snow and they were 4-5/32. I aired them down to 18psi and they did everything I needed them to do... with a little more fuss, of course.

It's good to learn what they're capable when the tread gets low.

Yes, I also aired down to 18psi with no troubles at all. Thanks

Thank you for the input! I would like to know how All-Terrains would do in the same predicament (powder or icy snow with 4-5/32's)
