Your vehicle’s tyres are critical for safety, comfort, and performance. Over time, even the best tyres wear out and need replacing. At Kent Mobile Tyre Services, we offer convenient, on-the-spot tyre replacement services, ensuring you stay safe on the road without the hassle of visiting a garage.
When Should You Replace Your Tyres?
Tyres don’t last forever, and knowing when to replace them is key to maintaining your vehicle’s performance and safety. Here are the most common signs that it’s time for a new set of tyres:
- Tread Wear: The legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm. However, for optimal performance and safety, it’s recommended to replace tyres when tread depth falls below 3mm. Worn treads can reduce grip, especially in wet conditions, increasing the risk of skidding.
- Cracks or Bulges: Any visible damage, such as cracks, bulges, or cuts in the sidewall, is a sign that your tyres need immediate replacement.
- Frequent Punctures: If you’ve had multiple punctures or repairs on a tyre, it may be time for a replacement rather than risking further damage.
- Age of Tyres: Even if your tyres appear in good condition, they should be replaced after about 5-6 years. Rubber degrades over time, which can affect performance and safety.
