The minimum legal tyre tread depth is 1.6mm. It's really important to make sure your tyres aren't worn below this limit, as driving with them that way is illegal and could lead to a fine of £2,500 and three penalty points. So, it’s a good idea to check your tyres regularly! And remember, even if you’re just above this limit, your tyre safety might still be at risk.

It's usually a good idea to replace all four tyres at once, but if only one tyre is worn or damaged, it's not always necessary. Sometimes, replacing two tyres at a time—as a pair on either the front or rear axle—can help ensure better handling and grip. We make sure to balance all new tyres when they're fitted to enhance tyre life, improve fuel economy, and provide a smoother ride.

Tyres should be inflated to the levels recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer, which you can find in the vehicle handbook. Over-inflating your tyres can lead to extra wear and a bumpy ride, while under-inflated tyres can increase fuel consumption, wear down the tread shoulders more quickly, and raise the risk of impact damage.

Signs your tyres may need replacing include: 

• Increased braking distance, especially in wet weather 
• Low tread depth 
• Vehicle vibrations 
• Cracks in the tyre sidewall 

If you ever have any doubts about your vehicle, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team—we're here to help you with anything you need. Or feel free to stop by and chat with our technicians at your local Chorley Group branch.
