What are the french like with tyres etc. I've got a rather low set on my fronts at the moment, but still legal acording to the blocks etc. Just debating whether to get new tyres before or after

Just been to get my tyres checked - tyre guy reckons 3mm minimum in France. Not sure if this is true but it's a company car so getting them done in case.

1.6mm min across the face of the tyre is required.

My fronts were close to wear bars, so had new set put on friday.

IMHO, if in doubt, replace them. I would much rather pay for new tyres than risk a crash.
