Tyres

Expert maintenance advice

When Should You Replace Your Tyres?

Tyres are the only part of the vehicle that touches the road, so their condition directly affects grip, safety, fuel economy, and legal compliance.

Drivers should watch for low tread depth, cracks, bulges, uneven wear, or damage caused by potholes or kerbs. On commercial vehicles, tyre wear is often accelerated by heavy loads and long-distance use. Replacing tyres at the right time improves braking performance, reduces the risk of blowouts, and helps keep running costs under control.

Key takeaways

  • Check tread depth and sidewalls
  • Replace worn or damaged tyres promptly
  • Good tyres improve grip and fuel efficiency
