Tyres are your only point of contact with the road surface. You cannot neglect the condition of your tyres. If you do, you could endanger not only yourself and your passengers, but also other road users. We recommend you check your tyres at least once a month.
Recent Nationwide Surveys (Tyre Industry Council, 2002) show that almost 27% of vehicles had tyres with tread depths of less than 2mm. It is accepted that tyre performance and in particular braking in the wet, deteriorates dramatically below 2mm. Approximately 12% of vehicles had illegal tyres.
Did you know that you may not be insured when driving on illegal tyres? Worn tyres also significantly impede the performance of your car. Do not forget that a worn tyre reduces the effectiveness of braking, steering, and acceleration, all of which are vital in staying safe.
