 Tyre tread - Zero
Got an MOT next week, so just had the wheels off to check the pads and the tyres.

Fronts - about 5-6mm left. There were newish when i got the car, so its lost 2-3mm in 14k
miles. Damn that's good going, there's about another 14-20k left in those then!

Rears - 3 - 4mm across the width of the tyre, the outer shoulders being a bit worn and feathered. Looking at them I suspect these came off the front and were the OEM. So thats 34k up, I reckon about another 20k now they are on the back.


Dunno what it is about my driving style, but I have always got 30 - 35k out of sets of front tyres, regardless of car.
