At around 7,500 miles, I'm getting close to the minimum tread depth indicator on the Geolandar G015 A/T tyres - particularly the rears.
The problem is that these seem to measure minimum tread depth at about 4mm, maybe 5mm.
I get that the 9mm tread depth at new means lots of space to shift mud and slush, but is the tread depth indicator just advisory, assuming the usual 1.6mm legal minimum still applies?
I'm guessing that the tyres may be less effective in mud and grot below the 4mm mark, but they're still legal right? And not invalidating insurance etc.?
Maybe I'll need to SNORN it for the last 2mm (Statutory Not Off Road Notification) and stick to tarmac?
