Check tyres with a 20p coin

TyreSafe has warned that many company car drivers are not making enough safety checks on their tyres and are risking serious injury. They conducted a survey and found that 25 percent of company car drivers had never checked the depth of their tyre tread and 41 percent had not checked them in the last six months.

To simply check your tyre tread depth, Tyresafe is recommending the “lifesaver in your pocket” campaign using a 20p piece. By checking your tyres once a month you can ensure your tyres are still roadworthy and legal for driving. There is also a video on the Tyresafe website @ www.tyresasafe.org to explain the dangers of driving with illegal tyres and tyre safety.

TyreSafe’s tips for checking tyre tread depths

1. Ideally, tyre tread depth should be checked at least once a month at the same time that you check your tyre pressure.
2. If you do not have a calibrated tread depth gauge a 20p coin provides a useful guide.
3. Insert the 20p coin into the main tyre grooves at several places around the circumference of the tyre and across its width.
4. If the outer band of the 20p coin is visible whenever you check the tread, your tread depth may be illegal and you should have them checked by a qualified tyre specialist.
5. When checking your tread depth, give the rest of the tyres a visual inspection for any cuts or bulges and remove any stones or objects embedded in the tread.
