  More Diesel power??

Noticed that some of the diesel boys here wouldnt mind a tad more power, have a quick lok at this
and see if it would suit. (Just saw it on 4WDTV)
No idea if its any good but worth a look if it suits.

  Tyre tread depth: 3mm vs. 1.5mm?         


Author: Just JT
Date: May 6, 2008 00:45

What is the legal tyre tread depth for cars in Australia? Is it 1.6mm or
higher?

Just watched an "ancient" (season 9 episode 13 first show 24-jul-2006)
episode of Fifth Gear discussing tyre tread depth. Show says any depth less
than 3mm is dangerous on wet weather. This site says the same:

(http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/uk/en/continental/tyres_for_life/themes/16_v_3mm/16mm_v_3mm_en...)

Your thoughts?
