It has been reported by a study of 4,000 road users by the tyre company Continental that up to 3.5 million UK motorists are driving on illegal tires.

One in ten drivers are driving on rubber with less than the legal minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm.

More than 40% said they never checked their tires, and one third said they did not know how to.

Many companies we deal with do insist their tires are changed at 2 mm.
