Driving with the cord of a tyre showing can result in a tyre blowout, while a lack of tread depth can make it easier to lose control of the vehicle in wet conditions.

It was also found that Khan was driving without due care and attention. 

The 39-year-old was fined £216 and received a total of five penalty points for the offences.
