Learn how to maintain your tyres properly with simple checks that help improve safety, extend tyre life and keep your vehicle performing at its best.
Tread depth and tyre safety
Checking tyre tread regularly helps ensure your tyres remain road legal and safe in all driving conditions.
How to check tread depth
A quick way to check tread depth is to use a 20p coin. Insert the coin into the tyre grooves. If the outer rim of the coin is visible, your tyres may be worn below the legal limit.
Always check tread depth across several points on each tyre. Uneven wear can indicate alignment or pressure issues.
Keeping tyres above the legal tread limit improves braking, grip and overall road safety.
