Reply To: Kwik-Fit fitter to lose driving license for having bald tyres

I remember being shown 2 tyres at my MOT testers course , neither of which I would have driven on ! However one was a “pass” and the other a “fail” . It would be very interesting to see the tyres in this case . I suspect the police’s version of the tyre laws is not always in line with the “spec” laid down in the MOT testers manual . It is quite noticeable how “bad” a tyre can look yet still be legal !
