Handy Tyre Hints

The legal minimum tyre tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm over 75% of the tyre's width and around its entire outer circumference. Check tyres using the short 'tread bars' (each 1.6mm deep) which lie across the tyre tread at intervals in modern tyres
It is best to change your car tyres before they reach the limit. A tyre with less than 1.6mm tread requires twice the braking distance of a new tyre
Each year, before the harsh winter weather settles in, take advantage of a free car tyre check from your local Merityre specialist branch
When inflating tyres, check the tyre pressure readings used. Some air gauges use bars, rather than pounds per square inch (psi), and any confusion could lead to burst or over-inflated tyres.
As an added safety check, inspect your car tyres ' inner and outer walls regularly for any cuts, bulges, or abrasions.
