You need to ensure your tyres have got plenty of tread because rain, ice and snow can make driving conditions very hazardous.

To begin with there is a really simple check you can do to make sure your tread is safe and legal and all it takes is a few minutes and a 20p coin.

All you have to do is simply insert the 20p coin into the main tread grooves of your car’s 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 the tyres need to be replaced.

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.

Current UK law requires car tyres to have a minimum of 1.6mm of tread across the central three quarters of the tyre, around its whole circumference.

And remember you don’t have to fork out a small fortune to replace your tyres.  etyres High Wycombe offer a wide range of tyres to suit all budgets from economy and mid-range to all the premium brands including Bridgestone and Michelin.
