Front tyre tread depth
Type A: one fails the test

Front tyre tread depth

In its most worn part the front tread is at least 1 mm deep and not below the wear marks.

Find the small triangle on the sidewall: it points to the wear bar in the grooves. If the tread is level with the bar, the tyre is worn out.

Type A: one fails the test

Rear tyre tread depth
