THE TYRE LAW
The legal minimum tread depth for car tyres in the United Kingdom   is 1.6mm throughout a continuous band comprising the central three quarters of the breadth of tread and around the entire outer circumference of the tyre.

Most car tyres have tread wear indicators which are small raised blocks in the main tread grooves, and when the tread surface becomes level with these blocks the tyre is at the legal limit and must be replaced.

The law applies to motor vehicles up to 3500 kg gross vehicle weight and cars and passenger vehicles with up to 8 passenger seats.
