Tyre Safety & UK Law

The UK rules that matter: the 1.6mm legal tread limit, MOT requirements, penalties, and when a tyre becomes unsafe or illegal.

Tyres are the only part of a car touching the road, so the law around them is strict — and worth knowing before an MOT or a roadside check. These guides cover the legal limits, what fails an MOT, and the penalties for getting it wrong.
