What are the minimum tread requirements? And how do I measure this?
The UKβs minimum legal requirement for tyre tread is 1.6mm across your tyre. You can use a gauge to measure this, but a more straightforward method is to use a 20 pence coin.
Simply place the 20p coin into the part of your tyre with the lowest tread. If you can still see the coinβs outer rim, you should get your tyres checked right away.
Driving with tyres lower than the 20p rim test leaves you breaking the law. Donβt get caught out; youβve a high risk of accidents and fines.

How to check your tyre pressure?
Firstly, find your carβs recommended tyre pressure –Β this is usually found inside the driverβs door or your fuel cap.
Remove the dust caps from your wheelβs tyre valve. Use a pressure gauge to press on the valve; this gives you a pressure reading.
Compare your reading to the recommended pressure levels. If you need to re-inflate your tyres, set the pressure on the air machine. Use the air machine to inflate your carβs tyres.
