Your Ultimate Tyre Information Guide

Everything you need to know about tyres, from sharing your location to understanding when to replace them.

How to Share Your Location

WhatsApp

Open WhatsApp, select the chat, and tap the attachment icon. Choose "Location" and send your current position.

Google Maps

Apple Maps

How to Identify Your Tyre Size

Your tyre size is printed on the sidewall. Look for a combination of numbers and letters like 205/55R16.

  • 205 = Tyre width in millimetres
  • 55 = Aspect ratio (height as a percentage of width)
  • R16 = Rim diameter in inches

Locking Wheel Nuts: What You Need to Know

Locking wheel nuts are essential for preventing theft. Make sure you:

  • Keep the locking wheel nut key in a safe place (usually in the glove box or with the spare tyre).
  • Check that the key matches your wheel nuts before calling for assistance.
  • Consider getting a spare key to avoid being stranded.

Legal Limits & When to Change Tyres

The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm. However, for safety, we recommend replacing tyres when they reach 3mm.

  • Use the 20p test: Insert a 20p coin into the tread. If the outer band is visible, your tread is below the legal limit.
  • Check for cracks, bulges, or other damage on the sidewall.
  • Replace tyres every 5-6 years, regardless of tread depth.

Other Useful Tyre Information

Tyre Pressure

Check your tyre pressure monthly using a pressure gauge. Refer to your vehicle’s manual for the correct PSI.

Seasonal Tyres

Consider using winter tyres in colder months for better grip and all-season tyres for year-round performance.

Spare Tyres

Always check your spare tyre’s condition and pressure. Don’t wait for an emergency to find out it’s flat.
