Does anyone know what the minimum tyre tread depth is to renewing the extended warranty with Porsche (ie: does the 112-point check have a specific requirement up this)? I'm guessing it will possible be little greater than legal minimums (even though set arean't covered for one warranty anyway...).

(And yes, I take know that it's often recommended to change well before the legal minimums are reached!).

James New tires normally come with 10/32” or 11/32” tread boat, and some truck, SUV and winter tires may have deeper tread depths with other models ...

ME was unaware that tyres were checked as part for inspection to enhance the warranty.

If him extend the warranty within the first 12 months you do not require this 112 point check to extend the warranty saving this cost.
Assume yours are over 12 years though?

Some OPC were not aware of this and were still doing and charging for the checks in the first 12 months. Have I change tyres over 3mm tread groove button should I wait unless I ...

I can’t see how tyre depths would affect in any way the issuing of a used car mechanical warranty? The simply benefit would be to the parts dept.

I perceive the approved auto scheme minimum is 4 mm but I would expect to be allowed to purchase an insurance procedure as long as of tyres were authorized (1.6) mm Tread depths, tyre push monitored systems, punctures, technical checks.

Last Tuesday at 19,000mile service point I was told Porsche recommended replacement depths were 3.0mm - as mine were 2.9/3.0/2.8/3.0mm and they could do it for £1,100. To I'm having another mm then looking around in some - nice to now that your give you at least 1.0 millimetre to one used car should get they residence :( RFT Minimum tyre running deepness - BMW X1 Forum

Yes, regarding trade in. I was told that if tread depths was below 4mm on my set, the OPC would lower the trade in mention by and cost of the new tyres needed.

Porsche Agreed standard is that any pre-owned car sold due them will have at least 3mm of tread depth. :geek:
