Your tyres are critical for safety, performance, and fuel efficiency. Here are five signs that it’s time to replace them:
1. Worn Tread Depth: If your tread depth is below 1.6mm, your tyres are no longer safe to drive. Use the “penny test” or look for tread wear indicators to check.
2. Cracks and Bulges: Visible cracks, splits, or bulges on the tyre sidewalls indicate structural damage and the risk of a blowout.
3. Uneven Wear: If one part of the tyre wears faster than the rest, it could signal alignment or suspension issues—and it’s time for new tyres.
4. Vibrations While Driving: Excessive vibration might mean a tyre is damaged or unbalanced, compromising your driving comfort and safety.
5. Tyres Older than 6 Years: Even if the tread looks fine, tyres degrade over time. If they’re over six years old, replacement is recommended for safety.
