What's the legal minimum depth of tread for a car tyre?

1.6 mm
Correct answer

DVSA explanation

Tyres must have enough depth of tread to give them a good grip on the road surface. The legal minimum for cars is 1.6 mm. This depth should be across the central three-quarters of the breadth of the tyre and around the entire circumference.
