When should I replace my tyres?

Check tread depth and tyre condition regularly. Damage, uneven wear or deterioration may mean replacement is needed before the tread reaches the legal minimum. Follow the vehicle and tyre manufacturers’ guidance, and seek professional advice if you are unsure. Read our tyre replacement guide >

What should my tyre pressure be?

Use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressures for your tyre size and load. These are usually listed in the handbook or on the vehicle’s pressure label. Check pressures when the tyres are cold. See our tyre pressure guide >

Should I replace tyres in pairs or as a complete set?

Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s requirements. Some four-wheel-drive systems have specific limits on differences in tyre size, tread depth or rolling circumference. Check these limits before replacing only part of a set. Learn when to replace tyres in pairs or sets >
