Tyres: What to look out for?
Your vehicles tyres may need a replacement for a number of reason. But here are some common signs that your tyres may be in need of an urgent replacement:
Low Tread Depth: This is the most common sign. In the UK, all tyres must have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm
Use the 20p test: If you can't see the edge of the 20p coin in the tread, it's time for a new tyre
Uneven Wear: If the tyre is wearing unevenly, it could indicate misalignment or other mechanical issues
Cracks or Bulges: These are signs of tyre damage and should be addressed immediately
Vibrations: Vibrations while driving can be caused by worn or unbalanced tyres
Noise: Unusual noises, such as humming or roaring, can indicate tyre wear or damage
Age: Even if a tyre looks good, it can deteriorate over time, especially if it's exposed to extreme weather conditions
