It\u2019s amazing that so many people pay such scant attention to their tyres.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re travelling at 80kph on the motorway, four little 20-square-centimetre pads of rubber are all that sits between you and a potential accident.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t take care of your tyres, those contact patches will not be doing their job properly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re happy with riding around on worn tyres, that\u2019s fine, but don\u2019t expect them to be of any help if you get into a sticky situation. The key of course, is to check your tyres regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a motorcyclist, do it every night before you lock the bike up. For a car, maybe once a week. You\u2019re looking for signs of adverse tyres wear.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check your tread depth<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bald, slick tyres might be good for motor racing but they\u2019re no good on the road. Most tyres come with tread wear bars built into them now \u2013 find one, examine it and if your tread is too low, replace your tyres. Four new tyres might seem expensive but they\u2019re cheaper than a fine or an accident.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, motoring law in most countries determines that your tyres need a minimum tread depth to be legal.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This varies from country to country but is normally around 1.6mm. To assist you in figuring out when you\u2019re getting close to that value, most tyres have tread wear indicators built into them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotating your tyres<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the practice of swapping the front and back tyres to even out the wear, not the practice of literally spinning your tyres around.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tyres begin to wear in a pattern, however good or bad, that matches their position on the car. If you now change them all around, you end up with tyres worn for the rear being placed on the front and vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, having had this done a few times both on front-wheel drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles during manufacturer services.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
