Why Tyre Checks are So Important
You don’t want to risk a blowout or tyre issue when on the road. A blowout at high speed is highly dangerous and can cause accidents that could have been avoided should a tyre issue had been detected. Issues such as tyre deflation, dangerous wear on tread depth combined with road and weather conditions can cause a blowout. Sometimes this is unavoidable so it’s important to ensure that your tyres are in the best condition possible.
What Should I Look Out For With My Tyres?
You can use the penny check to test the tyres and this is fairly accurate to test tread depth. If you can see all of the face of the coin then it’s time to change your tyres. The minimum legal tread depth is 1.6mm but it’s recommended to replace tyres at below 3mm for optimal performance. Check tyre pressure levels as deflating tyres can indicate that you have a puncture. Bulges on the tyre wall are also dangerous so all of these may indicate that you need a replacement. Replacement is highly recommended over repair.
Common Causes of Tyre Damage
If you’ve not had your tyres for very long or they seem that they have good tread depth and still become damaged – do not worry. There are some things on the road that are just simply unavoidable. Scraping the curb for example can cause bulging in tyres and damage to the tyre wall. Foreign objects on the road caused by extreme weather, debris from accidents or other cars or from construction could become embedded in your tyres. Potholes can cause damage – there are a lot of risks when you are on the road. This is why it’s so important to carry out checks.
