More than half the amount of people driving the UK don\u2019t perform regular tyre checks which can be a very serious matter. A tyre that is in good nick is more important than people presume, take for example a vehicle travelling on the motorway at 80mph the only thing ensuring that your car doesn\u2019t hit the bottom of the road are your tyres. When you\u2019re travelling at such a speed if your tyres aren\u2019t taken care of they can chip away in small potholes and gravel or even just a normal road, evidently parts of your tyre can be worn away.<\/p>\n
When your tyres get worn away and the treads on them are no longer existent then there is nothing that can keep you on the road.

The next is tread depth this can be checked with the eye as most tyres have an indicator within the tyre, if you want to keep yourself completely safe the guideline is to replace the tyre before the tread hits 3mm depth, if you\u2019re in any doubt you could always get your car checked by a mechanic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
