It’s what keeps your car gripping the road when it’s wet.
Tread is what clears water from under your tyres. As it wears down, that grip drops off fast: research shows the wet braking distance of a tyre worn to the legal limit (1.6mm) can be up to 44% longer than one worn to 3mm.
Quick check you can do yourself: the 20p test. Pop a 20p coin into the main grooves — if you can see the outer band of the coin, your tread is getting low and it’s worth getting checked.
With autumn rain setting in, give us a call or pop in — we’re always happy to help.
