Legal yes. Doesn't mean it's safe though.

Tracking must be out or suspension issue,Dangerous tyres in winter will have an effect on grip in bad conditions.You might get away with it in summer dry conditions but would go on the safety side.Bald shoulder will show canvas and wire shortly if put on long finger.
