I've always understood new tyres are 8mm.
Can this vary i.e. they won't always be exactly that?
I've seen "around 8mm for new tyres a lot" so I am presuming not.
My car was in for warranty repairs with MB and they send you a video with the tyre depths.
Allowing for a small amount of error, my new GYEF1A5s were 7mm and 7.3mm respectively.
They've only been on the car just over a week and have done a couple of hundred miles.
So I was a little surprised but new tyres are not something I've ever measured the tread depth before because... well you assume if they are new they will be 8mm.
