Tyre Law
The legal minimum tread depth for car tyres in the United Kingdom is 1.6mm throughout the continous band comprising the central three quarters of the breadth of tread and round the entire outer circumference of the tyre.
The penalties for the offences related to the use of faulty tyres on vehicles are severe. The fine for every faulty tyre is at level 4 of the standard scale with discretionary disqualification and compulsory driving licence endorsement of 3 penalty points.
Level 4 is currently £2500, each faulty tyre is considered as a seperate offence, so if you have four faulty tyres = £10,000 fine plus 12 penalty points.
DON'T RISK IT!
Play safe, bring your vehicle in to one of our centres and have one of our trained technicians check out your tyres properly.
