When should I change my tyres ?

Tyres are the only link between the vehicle and the road, so it's extremely important to have tyres in good condition.
Several factors determine whether your tyres need to be replaced. If in doubt, contact your nearest tyre repairer.

- If there is damage to the tyre, such as cracks, tears, deformations, bulges, or other damage, please have the tyre checked urgently.
- The tread depth legal minimum limit is 1.6mm.

Driving on tyres with tread below the legal limit can be incredibly dangerous, as well as illegal. It’s even worse driving with bald tyres, where the tread has worn away altogether.
Hazards of driving with worn tyres include:

•    Less grip on wet roads.
•    Longer stopping distances.
•    A greater risk of aquaplaning.
•    Less traction on icy roads or snow.
•    More chance of punctures, which can lead to a sudden blowout.

If you change your tyres when the tread wears down, you’ll have better grip on the roads and less stopping distance. You’ll also save fuel, as it’s more efficient to drive on an intact tyre tread.

Worn tyres or flat spots may also cause your steering wheel to shake or vibrate.
