Whether your van, mobile home or minibus is a faithful friend at work or a reliable vehicle which gets you and your family safely through traffic, one thing is clear - it deserves a quality tyre.
The legal limit is 1.6mm of tread depth across the central ¾ of the tyre all the way round. Anything less than this seriously compromises your safety and can earn you a fine of up to £2500 and 3 points on your Driving Licence,
per tyre.
Tanvic Tyres will check tyre tread depth for free at any of our Centres, and there’s no need to book.
We will only advise you to change your tyre when you actually need to, which is generally around 2mm.
All major manufacturers put tread wear indicators into the grooves of their tyres, so that when they are flush with the
main surface of the tyre, you know it’s time to change your tyres.
You should check your tyre pressures every two weeks and before any long trip, to ensure they meet the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Visually inspect your tyres for cuts, cracks and bulges, as these can lead to slow punctures or blowouts.
