Different tread depth, same axle

Hi all,

I've done a search but can't see one on this (although I'm sure it's out there somewhere!).

Is there a guideline for maximum allowable difference in tread depth across the same axle. Specifically, same make of tyre both sides, one has 6mm and the other 8mm?

Thanks

Ideally identical - but would have thought tyre pressures being a bit off would make more difference than that.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about it (and I'm a bit anal about tyres)

How can it possibly make any difference, unless the road and your driving are 100% straight the diff will be adjusting anyway. letters not necessarily in the right order
