    stolen from a wedsite:

    TIP: If you don't have a tread-depth gauge use a ten pence coin to see if you have at least 1.6 mm. The distance between the coin's outer edge and the inner dotted circle is exactly 1.6 mm. If you can see the dots sticking out of the groove it is high time to buy new tyres

    btw 1.6mm is the legal limit for tyre tread

    1.6mm (or 2mm) might be legal but it is not safe, when tyres get that low there is much more risk of losing control on wet roads.

    From the independent research, RoSPA recommends that tyres are changed once the tread reaches 3mm in depth.

    Could really do with one of these. Only noticed after I'd sent the request it was a motorbike website :o

    Are the tread requirements for car tyres the same?


    Same here-that'll teach me to read the whole thread first!

    Using a 10p is not really safe though? I would rather stick to safety stuff. (my opinion)

    "Due to the high demand for our free tread depth keyring we are currently unable to accept any more requests for the time being."

    I was too late for this one
    Free stuff is GOOD stuff :p

    Applied ages ago. Never received.
    A fool may give advice but the one who takes it is the bigger fool.
