Mytyres.co.uk promotes 3mm philosophy

Mytyres.co.uk – the UK online shop of Europe’s leading online tyre retailer Delticom – is offering motorists a simple tyre safety check list to ensure their tyres are fit for purpose and help to keep them safe on the road. Interestingly the five-point safety check begins with a recommendation to change tyres when tread depths reach around 3mm.

The first step of the advice reads: “ensure that all tyres, including the spare, have at least 2.5/3.00 mm of tread – the law requires a minimum of 1.6 mm but tyre experts recommend a greater level of tread depth for maximum safety.”
 
It continues: “Secondly, check and adjust tyre pressures against the manufacturer’s handbook recommendations. Incorrect tyre pressures increase wear and use more fuel and produce more CO2 emissions.” Third is a check for uneven tyre wear which can be caused by tyres/wheel alignment out of line. Then comes the suggestion to clean dirt from around the valve and “fit dust caps all round.”

And finally drivers experiencing vibration, wheel wobble or patchy tyre wear are reminded to have the wheels checked for balance.
