True or false?
The minimum tyre tread thickness of a vehicle shall be 1.6 millimetres
Italian text
Lo spessore minimo del battistrada degli pneumatici di un autoveicolo deve essere di 1,6 millimetri
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: TRUE
For motor vehicles the minimum tread is 1.6 mm; for motorcycles it is 1.0 mm. An old tire may require replacement even with little consumption. The tubeless tends to leak air more slowly, but a puncture requires caution and repair as soon as possible: do not immediately pull out a nail.
True or false?
"tubeless" tires can only be repaired with special canisters containing a special mastic, which close the hole from the inside
