Your vehicle’s tyres create a safe bond between your car and the road’s surface, so you must keep them in top condition.

What are the minimum tread levels? And how do I measure this?
The UK’s minimum legal requirement for tyre tread is 1.6mm. While you can use a gauge to measure this, the easiest method is to use a 20p coin.
Put the 20p coin into the tyre area with the least tread. If the coin’s outer rim is visible, check your tyres immediately.
Driving with less than this is extremely dangerous and illegal. Don’t risk accidents or fines.

How to check your tyre pressure
Before you start, check your vehicle’s recommended tyre pressure – you can find this inside the driver’s door or your car’s fuel cap.
Remove all the dust caps from your vehicle. Put a pressure gauge on a tyre valve; this gives you the current pressure reading.
Compare your actual reading with the recommended pressure levels. If your tyres need inflating, adjust the pressure on the air machine and start inflating your tyres.

What is wheel alignment and why do I need it?
Your wheels need to be aligned to ensure your tyres touch the road at the correct angle, are pointing straight, and are centred.
Over time, bumps in the road, potholes, speed bumps, and kerbs can cause your wheels to misalign. This results in uneven tyre wear and reduced handling, which puts your safety at risk.

How do I know if my alignment is wrong?
If your alignment is off, you might notice your vehicle pulling in one direction while driving. Or, you might experience reduced handling experience.
