A UK study found 16% of used cars have dangerously low tyre tread, increasing stopping distances significantly in wet conditions.
A new UK investigation found that about 16% of secondhand cars have tyres with 3.6mm or less tread, deemed potentially dangerous, while 8% have tread at or below 3mm, triggering an MOT warning.
Four vehicles were found with tread at or below the 1.6mm legal minimum, including cars from dealerships with near-term MOTs.
Experts warn such tyres can increase stopping distances by up to 75 meters at 70mph in wet conditions, posing serious safety risks.
Despite being legal, tyres near the minimum limit can become illegal within 33 miles.
Halfords and Cardiff University’s research analyzed nearly 500 vehicles, prompting calls for stricter regulations and better consumer protections.
