anyone know what the legal limit is for tires in france?

[DucatiGary]

I have about 2mm before the guide nobble thing on my tires that tells you you have to change tires, was thinking of driving very slowly everywhere and trying to get to lemans on them also for some rear end round about action

I was thinking to use the tires till lemans then have them replaced whilst in france (or germany since we are going the ring afterwards for a week)

does anyone know the legal limit for tires in france?

or if cut slicks are a no no (since one of the guys in our group has cut slicks)

thanks in advance.

2mm for France, not sure about cut slicks.

ok cool, i think there is about 5mm on them (rough guess) and id be gutted to get them changed again before they are due.

also, nervy has cut slicks on his 3, he'll prolly have to change em I guess.

E-mailed a mate who lives in France, he reckons "no abnormalities" whatever that means.

The actual limit according to the michelin france website is 1.6 mm

"La profondeur des sculptures doit être supérieure à 1,6 mm" so you have plenty of tyresmoke left.

yeah, like that's going to happen

checked my rear boots last night and was too wondering whether there's enough tread for the tour. Will take a gamble and if I have to will buy a new set over there AFTER lapping at the 'ring

Don't even pretend you'll be doing any sleeping (or washing)

I was thinking the same envy, buy some more over there.

might be cheaper too
