The Importance of Regular Tyre Safety Checks

Regular tyre checks improve safety, reduce costs, and prevent breakdowns. Here’s why tyre maintenance should never be ignored.

Why Tyre Checks Matter

  • Tyres are your vehicle’s only contact with the road.
  • A simple check can prevent blowouts and improve handling.
  • Properly maintained tyres reduce fuel use and extend lifespan.

What to Inspect During a Tyre Check

  • Tread depth: Ensure it’s above 1.6mm (ideally 3mm for better grip).
  • Cracks & bulges: Look for damage caused by curbs or aging.
  • Air pressure: Check monthly and before long journeys.
  • Foreign objects: Remove nails, glass, or debris safely.

The Legal and Safety Standards

  • UK law mandates a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm across the central ¾ of the tyre.
  • Below that, you risk fines and penalty points — and reduced control in wet conditions.
  • Experts recommend replacement at 3mm for optimal safety.
