Your tyre size is printed on the sidewall. Look for a combination of numbers and letters like 205/55R16.

  • 205 = Tyre width in millimetres
  • 55 = Aspect ratio (height as a percentage of width)
  • R16 = Rim diameter in inches

Locking wheel nuts are essential for preventing theft. Make sure you:

  • Keep the locking wheel nut key in a safe place (usually in the glove box or with the spare tyre).
  • Check that the key matches your wheel nuts before calling for assistance.
  • Consider getting a spare key to avoid being stranded.

The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm. However, for safety, we recommend replacing tyres when they reach 3mm.

  • Use the 20p test: Insert a 20p coin into the tread. If the outer band is visible, your tread is below the legal limit.
  • Check for cracks, bulges, or other damage on the sidewall.
  • Replace tyres every 5-6 years, regardless of tread depth.

Tyre Pressure

Check your tyre pressure monthly using a pressure gauge. Refer to your vehicle’s manual for the correct PSI.

Seasonal Tyres

Consider using winter tyres in colder months for better grip and all-season tyres for year-round performance.

Spare Tyres

Always check your spare tyre’s condition and pressure. Don’t wait for an emergency to find out it’s flat.
