Tyres For Sale

How do you know when its time to replace your tyres? Well here at tyres for sale we recommend that you replace them before they get down to the minimum tread depth. Safety should be your primary concern not trying to wing your way through your next warrant of fitness and hoping for a “friendly” WOF inspector.

The legal minimum for your tyres is 1.5mm and this needs to be across 75% of the tyre width, as well as around the entire tyre. There are other things that can mean your tyre won’t pass a warrant and they include..

• Unsafe cuts ( The chords of the tyres could be exposed )
• Bulges
• Seperated tyre ( This is when the steel belts go out of shape )
• Sidewall cuts, bulges
• Unsafe tyre repairs ( e.g the famous tyre plug )

Or pretty much anything that could make the tyre unsafe.

Its actually not that hard to check your own tyres, just get out a match stick, turn your steering wheel to hard lock to check the front ones. For the rear tyres you may need to get down on your hand and knees. Run your hands carefully around the sidewalls to ensure there are no lumps or bumps.
