Is the "tread alert"...
Is the "tread alert" message finally getting through? According to a new survey it is - in one part of the country at least. The 2004 North West England Tyre Safety Campaign registered a four per cent fall in the number of cars with rubber below the legal minimum tread depth of 1.6mm.
