Tyres can play a critical difference between staying safe on the roads and not. PC Bruce Lister from Herts Police shows how to check your tyres correctly in three easy steps as part of Road Safety Week.
Good to find a clip showing how to check.... I've never really thought about it although I do replace tires when they get a bit like kojaks head hahahaha.... Well done to the police, very informative
It is, 1.6mm over the centre 75% of the tyre width. I have just had two new front tyres fitted on my diesel Meriva. The annoying thing is, the outside tread is not cut full depth on some tyres so the edges will always go illegal first. you have to be careful as my 75% when I checked it includes some of the outside tread, if people check in the centre channels only for the 1.6mm they could be illegal on the outside tread.
Is he a full shilling?.... or 20p piece perhaps. Does he tell you what the law actually is i.e. 1.6mm across the centre three quarters and what that means in real life? Why not get a couple of used tyres and show some of the issues the police can prosecute you for while he’s at it?
