Legal Limits
Did you know that if your tread is below the 1.6mm legal limit that you could be liable for a fine up to £2,500, plus 3 penalty points per tyre?
- Minimum legal tread: 1.6mm†
- Recommended minimum tread: 3.0mm
- Maximum tread: 8.0mm
† Over the central 75% of the breadth of the tyre and around the entire circumference.
Experts are generally agreed that 1.6mm is not recommended and most suggest at least 3mm.
