What is the tyre law?
The current UK tyre law requires that your vehicle is fitted with the correct type and size of tyres for your car. That means you must ensure the right tyres are fitted, and for safety making sure that they are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure. The legal limit for minimum depth of the tread on your tyres is 1.6 millimetres, across the central of the tread going around the complete circumference of the tyre.
