• Tyre are an important part of keeping your car functioning and road worthy.

• It is a legal requirement to have a tread of at least 1.6mm across the central 3/4 of the tyre – your vehicle will not pass its MOT if the tread is below this and you may risk points on your license or a fine if spotted by the police or the DVSA.

• Check your tyre pressures regularly: tyres should have the correct pressure for the load of the vehicle, expected road conditions and the distance you plan to travel at a minimum. Your car manual will state the necessary tyre pressure. 

• Look for tyre wear and tread: the location of excessive wear and tear on a tyre often tells you whether your tyres are under/over inflated, if the alignment of the wheels are correct or if the tyre has been damaged/reached the end of its life. 

If in doubt book in and we can check them for you.
