What is the minimum tread depth permissible for the tyres of your moped?

For mopeds in Germany, the law requires a minimum tyre tread depth of 1.0 millimeter across the main tread area. This rule is important because sufficient tread ensures good grip, especially on wet roads, helping to prevent accidents. Regularly checking your tyre tread and making sure it does not fall below 1.0 mm is necessary for safety and to comply with legal regulations. Tyres worn below this limit are not only dangerous but can also result in fines if checked by authorities. Remember, cars and motorcycles require at least 1.6 mm tread depth, but mopeds specifically require only 1.0 mm as the minimum.
