Does anyone know what the minimum tyre tread depth is for renewing the extended warranty with Porsche (ie: does the 112-point check have a specific requirement on this)? I'm guessing it will likely be somewhat greater than legal minimums (even though tyres arean't covered by the warranty anyway...).
(And yes, I do know that it's often recommended to change well before the legal minimums are reached!).

I was unaware that tyres were checked as part of check to extend the warranty.
If you extend the warranty within the first 12 months you do not require the 112 point check to extend the warranty saving this cost.
Assume yours is over 12 months though?
Some OPC were not aware of this and were still doing and charging for the checks in the first 12 months.

I can’t see how tyre depths would affect in any way the issuing of a used car mechanical warranty? The only benefit would be to the parts dept.
I know the approved car scheme minimum is 4 mm but I would expect to be allowed to purchase an insurance policy as long as the tyres were legal (1.6) mm

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. So I'm having another mm then looking around for some - nice to now that they give you at least 1.0 mm on a used car should get you home

Yes, regarding trade in. I was told that if tread depth was below 4mm on my tyres, the OPC would reduce the trade in quote by the cost of the new tyres needed.
Porsche Approved standard is that any pre-owned car sold by them will have at least 3mm of tread depth.

Agreed, and as Simon has said if you depths are below 4mm they will reduce any trade in price
