Car Forum / Audi Cars / December 2008Audi MOT UK
took the old girl in for an MOT yesterday......1997 A4 V6 92000 miles. She failed on one track rod end which I knew had gone..... wheel thumping at a certain speed. The odd thing was the tester said Oh and I must inform you, ALL 4 tyres have 3mm to 3.5mm tread remaining. I said, yes, I looked at them that morning and concluded that they were all OK. Then I asked him what the legal requirement was, thinking there was some change......1.6mm he said. So why did he tell me when they are at least twice that figure. dj > took the old girl in for an MOT yesterday......1997 A4 V6 92000 miles. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > dj Many people change at 3mm, and IIRC some police forces have a policy of changing at that limit. >> took the old girl in for an MOT yesterday......1997 A4 V6 92000 miles. >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Many people change at 3mm, and IIRC some police forces have a policy of > changing at that limit. I suppose that will become law soon which is not a bad idea for safety. Mind you when on ice, 10mm or 3mm makes no difference. >>> took the old girl in for an MOT yesterday......1997 A4 V6 92000 miles. >>> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > I suppose that will become law soon which is not a bad idea for safety. No idea. > Mind you when on ice, 10mm or 3mm makes no difference. Indeed, but in the wet the difference between 3mm & 1.6 can be remarkable. > >>> took the old girl in for an MOT yesterday......1997 A4 V6 92000 miles. > >>> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > > Indeed, but in the wet the difference between 3mm & 1.6 can be remarkable. As can having a decent tyre in the first place, but they don't generally seem to take any notice of that.
