Legal limit is 1.6mm - but they are recommending 3mm

What's confusing me Alistair, is they are saying the offside and nearside rear tyre depth is 4.0mm which they say means the tyres have only 2.4mm left. Does that mean I am below the recommended tread depth of 3mm?

Stop the thread I think I understand it now. When it says I have 2.5mm left, it means I have 2.5mm left before I reach the legal limit to change tyres. |

just add the legal limit of 1.6 to the mm 'left' figure and you get the 'actual' depth.. ... - .- -.
