Did you know that potentially one-in-five cars on the UK's roads could have illegal or poorly maintained tyres? So be a tyre safety hero and ACT by carrying out these simple checks:

Check tyre air pressure

Air Pressure

Correct tyre pressures reduce the risk of experiencing a rapid deflation, and also ensure optimal braking and handling. Correctly inflated tyres also last longer and use less fuel. You can find the recommended pressure in your door shut, fuel filler cap or owner’s manual and you can top up with air at most service stations.

Check tyre condition

Condition

Check your tyres for any bulges, lumps or cuts and remove any stones or objects from the tread. If something doesn’t look right, have it  inspected immediately by a tyre professional. Make sure that you carry out these checks once a month, and before long journeys.

Check tyre tread

Tread

Your tyres’ tread is critical for acceleration, braking, steering and cornering. The legal minimum limit for car tyre tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three quarters of the tread around its entire circumference.
To check your tread, place a 20p coin into the main tread grooves of your tyre. If the outer band of the coin is obscured, then your tread depth is above the legal limit. If the outer band of the coin is visible, then your tyres may be illegal and unsafe
