Show answer
Correct answer
- A1,6 milímetros.1.6 millimetres.
Explanation
The main tread grooves of the tyres on cars, light vans and light trailers must be at least 1.6 mm deep (Annex VII of the General Vehicle Regulations). Below that, the tyre clears water poorly and the risk of aquaplaning increases.
