Are these Tyres Legal?

[StarletMad]

Some of you may know im refurbing my wheels atm.

Just wondered if it was worth putting these back on legally for a while to save some pennies.

All tyres have 3-4mm across the wheel aprt from the inside edges. There is no cord showing.

Toyo 1

Toyo 2

Parada 1

Parada 2

Thanks

Yes mate, you are allowed to go down to 1.6mm across 75% of the centre width of the tyre. With wear on both edges aslong as no cords or metal showing.

So im guessing as its a 195mm tyre providing 150mm of the tyre has at least 1.6mm then its legal?

Saying that i didnt get any advisory on my MOT a little while ago.

Yes that would be about right, but at 1.6mm the tyre is 100% worn, 2mm 94% worn etc

You wouldn't get an advisory in an MOT for 3-4mm tread.

It will be totally fine to put these on for a while, but any lower and stopping distances and water dispersion is compromised.

They'll be fine mate just drive sensible

[Liam_D]

They are defo legal, even the top one. But they'll just be shit

Id say there legal. But if your getting your wheels refurbed id advise getting new ones on as i can almost guarantee the fresh paint will get chipped, paint takes months to harden, if i was you id get the tires back on once the wheels have been primed to save riskin them gettin damaged
