Anyone been done for bald tyres?

Pulled from a website:

What Are the Penalties for Driving With Faulty Tyres?

In the case of any vehicle, with the exception of goods vehicles and vehicles adapted to carry more than eight passengers, for every offence there is a fine at level 4 of the standard scale with discretionary disqualification with 3 Penalty Points.

Level 4 currently stands at £2,500 and each faulty tyre is considered as a separate offence, which can really add up. Two faulty tyres equals £5,000 and 6 points on your license, and so on.

Offer the magistrate some dirty prison sex and he might go easy on you

Absolutely gutted.  I knew my tyres were fucked and had my car booked in on Friday to get all four tyres replaced.  Got pulled over last night and all four were illegal...

Has anyone else been done for this?  What penalty did you end up getting?  There's a lot of conflicting information on the web.  Anything from 3 points maximum and a £60 fine to 12 points (3 x per tyre) and £2500 penalty per tyre 

Did you not get a producer to get the tyres replaced within 28 days at an MOT garage and get the producer stamped by the garage.  If you didn't did you fail the attitude test as well?

I would say your right it will be £60 fine and 3 points per tyre, the 2500 is if you caused an injury accident due to the tyres so don't worry about that.
