Tyres For Sale

Most people have a fair idea of the minumum tread depth requirements (If you are unsure check out our minimum tread depth article), however how much tread does a new tyre have?

Fortunately the answer is fairly straightforward for once. Car tyres across the board tend to have a tread depth of 8mm.

4WD tyres normally have between 8mm and 14mm depending on the type/application.

The more tread that your tyres have the less chance you will aquaplane. You can read our article on how NOT to aquaplane for more information.

If you are selling a second hand set of tyres with this information you can now measure the tread that is remaining and accurately state how close to new they really are!
