Checking your tyre tread is very important if you want to stay safe in your car and avoid being fined or failing your MOT. MOT centres will check the treads as part of the test, but this is something you should be doing on a regular basis anyway.
All you need is a simple gadget called a tread depth gauge. You have to check three areas on every tyre on your car – the inner section, the middle section and the outer section. Check these three areas in several places on each tyre and make sure the lowest measurement is no less than 1.6mm.
If you keep an eye on your tyres on a regular basis, they won’t fail you when you put your car in for its next MOT test in Maidstone or in any other city. Make sure you call Just MOTs now on 0808 159 3782 for more information.
