Tyre Check
Did you know the legal limit is 1.6mm and if your tyre is on/below 1.6mm you can be fined up to £2,500 fine and three penalty points per tyre.
You can do these simply checks to make sure your tyres are safe and road legal.
1. You can check our read by doing the 20p test:
If the outer band of the 20p coin is obscured when it is inserted, then your tread is above the legal limit. If the outer band of the coin is visible, then your tyres may be illegal and unsafe, if this is the case arrange for a replacement as soon as you can.
2. Check the condition of the tyre:
Take a good look around each of the tyres and make sure that there are no cuts, tears or bulges on any of them. Check the inner harder to see places and also check for nails in the tyres, as well as any damage to the side wall.
3. Pressure:
With tyre pressure here a visual inspection is not enough. On your vehicle the recommended tyre pressure is most commonly listed on a sticker inside the driver's door. If there's no sticker on the door, you can usually find the specs in the owner's manual. It's best to check when tyres are cold.
