Tyre Wear on Outside Edge: Is it legal and what causes it?

Tyre safety is a matter of life and death.
Tyre wear on outside edge – is it legal?
The legal minimum tyre tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm, which must be in a continuous band around the middle three quarters of each tyre, leaving some allowance for the very edges.
But this is just the minimum! Some road safety experts believe that you’ll only be truly safe if you have a minimum tyre tread depth of 3mm.
A sufficient tread depth will give you good traction and stopping speeds you can depend on. But if you let your tyres get worn or degraded, you can expect less traction, greater stopping distances, and an increased risk of life-threatening things like aquaplaning and blowouts.
You should get into the habit of checking the state of your tyres at least once a fortnight...
