jmurray01 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Both the outer edge and centre of the tyre have around 4mm of treads (as the pictures show), however the inner edge has worn right down due to the alignment being off. My question is, will this tyre pass an MOT as it is? To my eyes, it seems to be just within the "1.6mm of tread across 3/4 of the tyre" requirement, but I could be wrong.

btmaldon Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 My feeling is that they may well be legal but do you really want tyres like that on your car. I would get them changed anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only the one tyre that is like that, the NSF (which was worse) has already been changed and both rear tyres are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The minimum legal tread is 1.6mm across the central 3/4's of the tyre. It looks to me like that would not quite cover the full 3/4's and would probably fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmurray01 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Thanks for your input guys! I decided just to book it in for a new tyre on the morning of the MOT to be safe. Hopefully with good tyres all round and recently serviced brakes it should go through the MOT fairly cheaply, but then again it is a Ford - so it could either be £30 or £300!
