The legal perspective is that any part of the tyre that makes contact with the road must have a tread depth no less than 1.6mm. And from a safety perspective, as tyres begin to wear and lose tread they begin to suffer a loss of traction. Braking performance can also be heavily affected.

Tyres represent first major defection point for a Service Department and many Tyre Stores will offer “log book servicing” to customers when they replace tyres. Being able to service all your customer’s vehicle needs will reduce the chance of them needing to look elsewhere to maintain their vehicle.
