How to check your tyre tread with a 20p coin

All tyres will eventually wear out or become damaged, and so will need replacing in time. How quickly this happens depends on various factors like driving habits, where you live and how well you care for your tyres.

So, when should you invest in a new set?

Whilst you should check your tyres for wear and tear regularly; we know it can often fall down your to-do list and be seen as a lesser priority. You can use the following check list to see if your tyres need replacing:

Tread wear – using a 20p coin, you can check if your tread depth is below 1.6mm. Simply, place a20p coin into the main tread grooves of your tyre. If the outer band of the 20p coin is obscured when it is inserted, then your tread is above the legal limit. If your tread depth falls below this measurement, you should invest in new tyres immediately as it will dramatically reduce your stopping distances.
