Have you ever wondered why we advise you of low tyre tread depth when you seem to have a "massive" 3mm of tread left
(i.e. much more than the MoT minimum of 1.6mm)?
Click on the logos at the right here to look over RoSPA's research into the results of braking in wet conditions & also Continental tyres interesting video which dramatically demonstrates why 3mm is essential to your continued safety. Indeed on the continent 3mm is their minimum tread depth!
Watch the Continental Tyres video then decide whether your life is worth just having the MoT minimum of 1.6mm of rubber! Be prepared to be frightened at the thought of whether the person in the car behind you is only running on 1.6mm of tread, Anti-lock brakes won't improve his stopping distance! |
