Checking the legal tyre tread depth is one of the most important car checks. With highly worn out tyres, you could face a hefty fine (up to £2,500 per tyre) and 3 points on your license per tyre. Whilst this is a financial risk, the risk of having an accident when on the road is very high when you have worn out tyres so it’s of the utmost importance to have them checked regularly. The legal tread depth by law in the UK (for cars) is 1.6mm across the centre three-quarters of the tyre. The treads on your tyres must meet the minimum requirement across the complete circumference or you risk an accident or fine. The maximum recommended tread is 3mm (seeing almost double the stopping time in wet conditions when comparing a 3mm tyre tread to a 1.6mm tyre tread.) Worn out tyres can make wet conditions more dangerous with increased risk of losing grip on the road and losing control. It’s simply not worth the risk, if in doubt arrange a free tyre check with the friendly team of technicians at Autocentres.
