i think the moral of the story is look at your tyres

how on earth could you be driving about on tyres that are bald on the outside and not even know

you should be checking them on a regular basis. the do have ware indicators look fot a triangle where the thread meets the sidewall this will show where the indicators are on thread

The mot requirement is that the middle 75% or 3/4s has a dread depth of 1.6mm minimum in the major grooves for the circumference of the tyre, if the balding bit is not thread bare or even better still has some tread marks on it and isn't within this region then don't panic. However, it will be worth getting your wheel tracking looked at a tyre shop with a full computer allignment set-up that can measure camber. Also, ask wherever you go, to have a look at your suspension bushes as they can contribute if they are worn and can give wear to one edge (somethimes creates a step like bald area)

Tyres only:

Online tyre prices seem to fluctuate a lot, especially for premium tyres, so choose a particular tyre or two that you like and then buy when cheapest.
