Hi all,

I'm three months and 3000miles into my BT010s on a speed 4.
I got 3mm central up to 4mm towards the edges.

What is the law for bike tyres in the UK. Is it 1mm min?

The pattern on BT010s doesnt seam to interlock much in the centre.

Cheers,
Graham

hinkleyboy

it has to be 1mm across two thirds of the center of the tyre

And that's it.

Any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) or gross train weight (GTW) over 3500kgs or a motorcycle above 50cc must, comply with either:

1. The grooves of the tread pattern must have a depth of a least 1 mm throughout a continuous band measuring at least three-quarters of the breadth of the tread and round the entire outer circumference of the tyre, OR
2. If the grooves of the original tread pattern of the tyre do not extend beyond three-quarters of the breadth of the tread (i.e. common with motorcycle tyres) any groove of the original pattern must have a minimum depth of at least 1 mm.

I feel a need to wear an anorak
