Making the most of your tyres Your tyres are the only contact that your vehicle has with the road and they play a vital role in ensuring that your journey is a safe one. Not only must they support the weight of the vehicle but your tyres must respond to acceleration, braking and steering forces – as well as absorbing the impact of bumpy, uneven roads. Surely they deserve a little tlc?

Safety Tips

Tread Depth Worn tyres reduce the effectiveness of braking, steering and acceleration, particularly in the wet.

Check the tread depth of your tyres. The minimum legal tread depth is 1.6mm, however 3mm will give you safer, more efficient tyres.

Worn tyres are not only dangerous, they are illegal.
