Minimum Tire Tread???
I just bought a used car and have noticed that the tires are slipping more than I feel they should. I got down and looked at the treads on the tires and they seem like they are not as deep as they should be. Does anyone know what the legal tread depth required is for a Manitoba, Canada vehicle to be safetied? I measured the tread depth and it is currently at about 1/16" on the front tires (front wheel drive) and approx. just under 1/16" on the back tires, this seems a little shallow for the treads. If this is not within the legal limit then I can go back to the dealership where I got it from and demand that they put new tires on. They do their own safeties so they could just be trying to pull a fast one.
Cheers,
