I mean, is there a more scientific manner a regular guy can check? Been using the coin in tread trick.... but that isn't really all that accurate. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

There is a bar going perpendicular to the tread that is visible when your tires approach 2/32". That is usually considered replacement time.
