Questions we're frequently asked at DMH Tyres
What is the legal tread depth, and will you tell me if I can wait?
The legal minimum in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three quarters of the tyre and all the way round, and you can be fined up to £2,500 with three penalty points per tyre below that. In practice wet braking falls away noticeably under 3mm, so that is the point we would start planning rather than panicking. If you come in at 4mm we will say so and tell you to come back in a few months. If you have caught a cord or a bulge in a sidewall, we will tell you that too and why it cannot wait.
