1. Low tread depth
If the tread is getting close to the 1.6mm legal limit, it is time to plan for new tyres. Grip in the wet drops off long before that point.
2. Uneven wear
Wear on one edge usually points to an alignment problem, while wear in the centre or on both edges can mean the tyre has been over or under-inflated. We can diagnose the cause as well as replace the tyre.
3. Cracks, bulges or cuts
Cracking in the sidewall or a bulge means the tyre structure is failing and it should be replaced straight away, as it could fail without warning.
4. Vibration or pulling
A vibration through the steering wheel can mean a tyre is out of balance or damaged. If it pulls to one side, your tracking may also need checking.
5. Age
Even with plenty of tread, rubber hardens with age. Tyres more than a few years old are worth having checked, especially if the car has not covered many miles.
