Tyres

Your tyres are the only point of your car in contact with the ground, so for safety’s sake they must be maintained.The law states that there should be a minimum of 1.6 mm of tread across the central ¾ of the tyre and all the way around. During your vehicles annual MOT test the tyres and wheels will be inspected. This will include their condition, security, size , type and tread depth.

WHEN SHOULD YOUR TYRES BE REPLACED ?

• If after a puncture a type specialist detects a defect that renders the tyre  unrepairable
• If the tyre is not suited to the vehicle.
• If it has reached the legal limit of wear.
• If there is localised abnormal wear.
• If it shows signs of ageing.
• If it shows cuts or deformations likely to harm safety

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR TYRES…

• Check your  tyre pressures once a month.
• When your tyres are changed make sure the valves are also changed.
• Balancing is equally important to avoid premature wear of the tyres , suspension and steering components.
• Get your tracking checked.
