Frequently Asked Questions
The legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, around the full circumference. Driving with tyres below the legal limit can result in a fine of up to £2,500 and three penalty points per tyre.
You should replace tyres when the tread depth reaches 1.6mm, but many road safety organisations recommend changing at 3mm. Other signs include visible sidewall cracks, bulges, irregular wear or any damage after a puncture or kerb strike.
In many cases yes — punctures in the central tread area of the tyre can often be safely repaired. However, punctures on the sidewall or close to the outer edge of the tread cannot be safely repaired and the tyre will need replacing.
Yes. We balance all newly fitted tyres as standard. Correct wheel balancing prevents steering vibration, reduces uneven wear and helps extend the life of your tyres, bearings and suspension.
