How Do I Know If My Tyres Need Replacing?

When should I replace my tyres? How do I check if my tyres are worn out?

You are legally required to ensure that your tyres meet the minimum tread depth requirement. However, it’s advisable to replace tyres before they reach this limit to maintain safety and performance.

Signs Your Tyres Need Replacing:

•Tread Depth Below the Legal Limit – The UK legal minimum is 1.6mm, but replacing tyres earlier is safer.

•Reduced Grip & Longer Stopping Distances – As tread wears down, braking performance decreases, especially in wet conditions.

•Visible Wear or Damage – Check for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear.

Regular tyre checks are recommended. Refer to your vehicle handbook for manufacturer guidelines.
