Tire Tread Depth

I bought a tire tread depth gauge today to keep track of how bad autocrossing is tearing up my tires and I have a question...

Front and rear tires are measuring at 5/32. Tires were new when I bought the car, and I have put about 12k miles on it since then ( including 3 autocrosses ).

I believe that new most tires are at 10/32 so wear seems pretty good considering the mileage.

Can I wait until 2/32 to replace the tires ( I don't drive the car in the rain or snow ) or will I need to replace them sooner ?

Thanks,

Nick
