Don't get caught with bald, worn and damaged tyres - UK rules requires motorists to have a minimum 1.6mm of tread left over the central three quarters of their tyres. Below this the rubber is deemed illegal and drivers risk a fine of up to £2,500 and three points on their licence for each bald item.
