Independent research shows that worn tyres significantly increase the risk of an accident in the wet and that over 14% of cars on the road have at least one defective tyre.

 

Tyres are the sole contact between your car and the road and many of us do not check them regularly enough. 

 

Ideally, tyres should be checked on a weekly basis – not just for the correct pressure, but also for tread depth, cuts, scrapes and bulges – which can all contribute to a tyre failing and potentially causing a blow-out.

It is recommended that you change your tyres when the tread depth falls below 3mm.

 

 

If you think your tyres may be worn or damaged, call in at Masterfit on Broad Green who offer a free check and expert advice.

 

Did you know?

  • An illegal tyre is liable to a maximum fine of £2,500 and 3 penalty points per defective tyre
  • The area in contact between your tyre and the road is the size of your palm
  • In wet weather water dispersion is dramatically reduced at 3mm and below
  • Valves help maintain tyre pressure and assist in adding or releasing pressure.  These small components deteriorate with age and could cause premature wear to tyres if not replaced with new tyres.
