In order to get approval for a warranty i need to have a minimum tread depth. what would this sound like? like 1.7mm? or something else?also how can i check it
to the best of my knowledge you would simply measure it with a ruler?
Most insurance companies require you to have a minimum of 2 mm of tread depth over the whole of the tire both front and rear. It is your responsibility to maintain the bike in a roadworthy condition or the insurance won't pay out on a claim.
That you could get a easy low cost device from Halfords the like; most tyres additionally comprise a tread wear indicator which is a small band throughout the tread grooves at intervals across the tyre. When this is level with the surrounding rubber the tread is down to 2mm. To get it correct for you, legally the grooves of the tread sample have to be at the least 1.6mm for the period of a continuous band comprising the relevant three-quarters of the breadth of tread, and round the whole outer circumference of the tyre. That is a long way too low, no less than 2mm is advocated and. Residing in a moist(ter) area of the nation I is not going to go beneath 3mm. Hope that helps.
