General TREAD DEPTH GAUGE (uninteresting thread)

[Visorfett]

Sorry to be sad.... but...

Noticed when washing "percy" that there is some coloured warning lines, underneath the tyre tread. Presumably where the legal limit is? or maybe when it gets bald
(goodyear F1s by the way)

Section near the bottom titled "Coloured dots and stripes - whats that all about?"

May be what your seeing?

Well, there goes the mystery.

As a slight follow on, there are raised bits of rubber within the tread which are the wear markers so when they are flush with the tread, you're at (or below!) the legal limit. Must check mine this weekend and see how they're wearing

Maybe this short thread should have been called 'thread depth gauge'?
