Keeping your tyres in good order will help keep you safe on the road and also improve your vehicles performance. The MOT test requires you to maintain 1.6mm of tread across the middle of your tyres. You should, if possible, follow these steps to ensure your tyres are in good order:
1) Monitor and adjust the tyre pressure – required tyre pressures vary depending on the load that you are carrying, the road conditions and the distance you intend to drive at a minimum. Your car handbook will have a section detailing the necessary tyre pressures.
2) Visually check your tyres for wear and tear – the location of any damage or wear on a tyre will be an indicator as to whether your tyres are under or over inflated, if the wheel alignment is correct, if the tyre has been kerb damaged or reached the end of its useful life.
