Construction and Use Regulations
The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 set the detailed legal requirements for tyre condition on UK roads. They specify minimum tread depths, prohibit mixing of tyre types across axles in certain cases, and require tyres to be fit for purpose. These regulations are the technical basis for MOT tyre checks and DVSA roadside inspections.
