So nothing to do with license then?
It's no more likely to blow out than any other tyre
Catastrophic if it does

Using your analogy a tyre at 10mm is more likely to blow than one at 14mm. Why not replace then? The tread depth doesn't have a significant affect on the likelihood of a blow out, if your company want to replace at 3mm that is fine but it doesn't mean running them down to the limit drastically incr...

I've never had a blow out because...
