When Shannon is in the garage talking to Bernie about the race car, he says that the tire treads are still in good shape to assure Bernie of his purchase. Treads on NASCAR-style stock car tires are a bad thing. Stock cars use tires without treads to maximize grip on racetracks.In customary usage, "tread" means the grooves that channel water, avoiding hydroplaning. Racing slicks don't have a *tread pattern* but they do have tread. Shannon meant that there was still lots of rubber left. He is a motormouth and a hustler, so he intentionally used a phrase Bernie would be familiar with and assured by.
