Wondering If You Need New Tyres?
Your tyres are the only part of your car that touches the road — which means tyre health is critical to your safety. Whether you're heading into an MOT, just failed one, or your car doesn't feel right, knowing when to replace your tyres can prevent breakdowns and accidents.
At Tyre 2 You, we specialise in mobile tyre fitting across Bristol, Bath, Salisbury, Radstock, Warminster, and surrounding areas — including same-day and emergency tyre replacements.
Here's how to check if your tyres need replacing — and what to do next.
Top 6 Signs You Need New Tyres
- Low Tread Depth
UK law requires a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm across the central ¾ of the tyre. If your tyres are below this, they are illegal and unsafe.
Quick Tip: Use a 20p coin — insert it into the tread. If the rim around the edge of the coin is visible, your tread is too low.
- Cracks or Bulges
Sidewall cracks, splits, or bulges can indicate internal tyre damage — often caused by age, potholes or kerbing. These tyres are at risk of blowout and should be replaced immediately.
- Poor Grip in Wet Weather
If your tyres are struggling in rain, aquaplaning, or skidding easily, the rubber compound may be hardened with age or the tread may be too shallow. All-weather and RoadX tyres are ideal for replacing these.
- Uneven Wear
Tyres worn more on one edge may indicate misalignment, underinflation or suspension issues. Even if they’re legal, uneven tyres are dangerous and reduce vehicle control.
- Age – Over 5 Years Old
Even if not heavily worn, tyres degrade with time. Rubber hardens and cracks, reducing safety. Most manufacturers recommend replacing tyres after 5–6 years.
- Excessive Noise or Vibration
Feeling unusual vibrations or hearing a humming noise? It could mean your tyre is separating, out of balance, or developing a flat spot — all signs you may need new tyres.
Why Replace Tyres Early?
Worn or damaged tyres increase:
- Braking distance
- Risk of aquaplaning
- Fuel consumption
- MOT failures
- Risk of fines or penalty points
Don’t wait until a flat — proactive replacement keeps you and your passengers safe.
