The legal limit for tyre wear in the U.K is 1.6mm.  However, after the tread depth goes below 3mm the tyre is not as efficient at stopping in a hurry and it is also not as efficient at dispersing water properly.  After the tyre goes below 3mm you will also start to notice road noise much more.  For all these reasons it is definitley worth considering changing your tyres before they reach the legal limit. Remember the tyres on your car are one of the most important purchases you can make for a vehicle as it is only your tyres that keep you gripped to the road.  Etyres of Kings’s Lynn offers a fantastic ‘to your door’ service with a friendly and professional approach to all of the jobs we do.  You can buy your tyres online or by phone and we offer a great range of tyres from budget to Mid-Range to all of the branded tyres you would expect a 1st class retailer to offer.
