Do Your Tyres Need Replacing?
The short answer is if your tyre tread depth is below 1.6mm (the legal limit in the UK), then yes, your tyres need replacing. But just because there’s a legal minimum, doesn’t mean you should ignore other warning signs.
Driving in Scotland, one of the UK’s wettest areas, presents extra challenges for tyres. Worn tyres have reduced grip, especially in wet conditions, impacting stopping distances and increasing the risk of aquaplaning.
