Tread Depth - the legal limit is 1.6mm of tread depth across the central ¾ of the tyre all the way round. Anything less than this seriously compromises your safety and can earn you a fine of up to £2500 and 3 points on your Driving Licence, per tyre.
All major manufacturers put tread wear indicators into the grooves of their tyres, so that when they are flush with the main surface of the tyre, you know it’s time to change your tyres.
Baldocks will check your tyres for free, and there’s no need to book. We will only advise you to change your tyre when you actually need to, which is generally around 2.5mm.
Tyre Pressure - you should check your tyre pressures every two weeks and before any long trip, to ensure they meet the manufacturer’s recommendations. Again, Baldocks will be happy to do this for you.
Baldocks will check and adjust your tyre pressures to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Tyre Condition - visually inspect your tyres for cuts, cracks and bulges, as these can lead to slow punctures or blowouts.
Whilst your car is on our ramp we will carry out a free 20 point safety check.
