Winter Driving Statistics

There are a few different signs that show you need new tyres, we can't stress enough how important it is to keep your tyres in good condition, in this article we will give you different pointers, on when you should consider getting new tyres for your car.


Not Enough Tread Depth - This is a major issue with tyres, brand new tyres come with at least 8mm of tread depth to help them maintain good contact with the road. You need to make sure you have at least 1.6mm of tread depth on all of your tyres, this is a legal requirement. Besides it being illegal to have less tread depth than 1.6mm your tyres will also have much less traction on the road making it much more dangerous to drive.


Tyres for 25,000 Miles - Tyres should on average last 25,000 miles but it depends on your driving style and your car, it isn't said that you have to change your tyres every 25,000 miles but after that milage your car tyres are worn and used to a point they should be changed.


Shaky Drive - If you are experiencing shaky drives, there could be a problem with either your shock absorbers, wheel allignment or your tyres. You should get you tyres checked and make sure they are in good condition.


Strange Squeaks or Whining noises - if you are hearing strange noises coming from your wheels there could be two problems present, it could mean there is a problem with your tyres, it happens when you get a puncture or your tyre starts to crack. Another possible problem could be with your brakes, they could either be rusty or damaged. You should get them checked out and fixed as soon as possible.


Bulges and Blisters - If you can see obvious defects on the outside of the tyres, it means something is wrong with the tyre internally.


Following these tips will ensure your tyres are kept in good condition and that you are staying as safe as possible.
