Gardaí have issued a stark warning on social media regarding tyre safety.
The tweet was made following the inspection of a vehicle which was stopped in Co. Wexford last week.
The car stopped by Gardaí had minimal tread depth while the radial cord was exposed.
Gardaí are advising motorists not to drive vehicles with a tyre tread depth of any less than 1.6mm.
