when do you replace your worn tyres?

[steveo3002]

do you leave your tyres to near to the 1.6mm or is it safer to replace them a bit sooner ?

reason i ask ..got 4 michelins with between 3-4mm , sensible head says new ones would be nice what with winter and all that , my wallet is saying run them a bit longer

For me it would depend on what car they're on, what sort of journeys you do and what your weekly mileage is.

Also whether they're a common size so you could change them in a hurry if necessary.

mk1 focus , lots of filthy back roads, does a fair few miles maybe 1000 a month, common size so could change em anytime really
