if a copper pulled you and they were flush you would prolly be looking at 3 points and a grand fine for each tyre, so the tyre fitter prolly done you a favour.
not to mention that it takes longer to stop with low tyres in this weather
anyway, enough of the class lesson
the raised bits are generally 2mm, but this can vary with tyre manufactures.
the legal limit for a car is 1.6mm and 1mm for a motor bike
the average height of a new tyre tread block is around 8mm

i always thought it was 1.6mm but it will always vary slightly with different manufacturers. if your tyres get down that low then defo change them as they wont be givvin ou full grip so takes longer to stop and gonna skid easier so poo handling.

The tread wear indicators are usually at 1.6mm
The leagal requirement is 1.6mm over the centre 3/4 of the tyre and visible tread on the shoulders.
