Tyre Tread Depth

Before checking tyre tread depth, ensure you are on a flat surface with ample distance from the kerbs, the car is switched off and secured with a parking brake.

Tyres must have a minimum of 1.6mm of tread depth across at least 75% of the central width of the tyre and around the entire circumference.

Tyre Pressures

Check your tyre pressures regularly, otherwise you may:

1. Decrease grip on the road (and make steering less precise)
2. Increase braking distance
3. Increase fuel consumption (by increasing rolling resistance)
4. Potentially reduce the lifespan of your tyres

Tyres should always be checked regularly and more so before long journeys.
