Nissan Tyres

Are you driving on legal tyres?

The legal minimum tread depth on each tyre is 1.6mm but it is recommended that you change your tyres when the tread depth reaches 3mm or 78% worn.

It is estimated that 90% of all vehicles on the road have incorrect tyre pressures that adversely affect braking and steering, particularly when cornering. Sudden failure of under-inflated tyres contributes to 6% of fatal accidents. Incorrect tyre pressures can also reduce your cars fuel economy and increase environmental pollution.

Also, don't forget your spare tyre: if it's not regularly checked it may become illegal or under-inflated. Insurance claims could be void if your tyres are below the legal limit.

Not only safety comes at a price

Do you know that you could be fined up to £2,500 and receive 3 penalty points for each tyre deemed illegal. Pull into our dealership and our service department will get your tyres checked out, to make sure you are driving on safe and legal tyres.

What should you do?

All tyres, including the spare, should be checked once a week when they are cold.

Look for damage and wear and check the pressure. Because modern cars go longer between services, it's vital to regularly check your tread depth readings. Remember: as your tread depth decreases, your stopping distance in wet weather will increase.
