Make sure your tyres have plenty of tread depth to cope with rain-soaked roads

March 25, 2013

Raymond – etyres Farnworth writes: The snow and ice should be behind us now, but driving on rain-soaked roads with bald car tyres can be just as dangerous.

Tyres without adequate tread depth may suffer from a loss of grip or traction leading to longer stopping distances, reduced handling and an increased risk of aquaplaning on wet roads.

Aquaplaning is the result of the car tyres no longer pushing away the amount of water on the road, your car ends up rising up on a film of water and suddenly both steering and brakes no longer work properly.

In the event of aquaplaning you are advised not to apply the brakes suddenly or turn the steering wheel.  The best thing to do is ease off the accelerator and let the car roll, pump the brakes lightly if the vehicle does not have anti-lock brakes fitted as standard.

To cope properly with wet conditions, car tyres should have the correct tread depth as the tread pattern helps to remove water from the road surface, allowing the tyre to grip the road properly.

The easiest way to check this is to insert a 20p coin into the main tread grooves of their car tyres. If the outer rim of the coin is covered by the tread, this indicates sufficient tread depth to be safe and legal.

If the outer rim of the coin is visible, it is likely your car tyres need to be replaced.
