Guidance on Tyre Tread and UK Tyre Law

The law requires car tyres to have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm in a continuous band around the central three quarters of the tyre. To help you judge how much tread you have on your car tyres, manufacturers often mould tread bars at roughly 1.6mm.

 

With these bars, you can see when your tyres are about to become illegal and unsafe. However, for optimum safety, most manufacturers recommend that your tyres are changed at 3mm.
 

£2,500 fine and three penalty points on your licence for each worn tyre.

Here at Dukes Park Automotive Ltd, we supply all makes of tyres, from Premium Run Flat to Winter and all season tyres, for all makes and models including BMW and Mercedes. All come with new valves as required and are wheel balanced.
