I know, I usually change tyres around 3mm, below that and they get squirmy in the wet. At 1.6mm they are lethal.

What gets me is that you walk along any road in these parts and look at the tyre tread on parked cars and you'll see several that look like they're on or near the limit. On wet motorways etc., these people are all around you

I had a short walk to the shops just before it went dark and looked at a few wheels and tyres. Nearly all the cars had kerbed wheels (nearly: because mine are not!!!) and the tread depth was worringly low. People don't realise how important properly inflated tyres with good tread depth are for their safety.

I said that to the tyre fitting company in jest. He said that they were ordered not to dispose of the tyres until given permission to. And the lease company did come and pick the old tyres up occasionally. If they spotted wheelspin marks or more tread than allowed, the tyre dealer would lose his approved tyre dealer status for not telling.
I said he must have more worn tyres to show instead, but wouldn't budge. He was an independant and was his own place, so fair enough.

After a day out, coming home it's now 4c and I pull onto a damp road and give the accelerator a good push...no wheel spin or DSC light. Pretty sure the summers in these conditions would have twitched.

John, are the Dunlops run flats too? Or have you had to get the "mobility kit" or whatever?
