Are you looking for Tyre Tread for your vehicle?

tread-tyres

Tyre treads are essentially the part of tyre carcass that makes contact with the ground. These are responsible for providing the necessary road grip when you are driving.

Tyre treads are subjected to a number of regulations imposed by the UK Government, for example, the Government mandates that a tyre’s tread depth should be at least 1.6 mm. Failure to comply with this will cause you to fail an MOT test. It can also lead to heavy traffic fines.

Hence, you need to perform a tread depth check in St. Helens to ensure your car tyres are in order. If the tread depth is not the required limit, then you should head over to Blackbrook Motors for set of new car tyres.

How to check tyre tread?

You can check the tread depth of your car’s tyre using a 20p coin. Insert the coin in a groove and check the outer band. If it is visible, then the tread depth is lower than 1.6 mm, and that tyre needs replacement.

Some more terminologies you should know of

These are other tyre terminologies that you should know of –

  • Sipes – These are the small incisions in a tyre.

  • Grooves – These are the deep cuts that are present laterally and circumferentially in a tyre.

  • Tread blocks – Treads, when made up of separated sections, are known as tread blocks.

  • Ribs – Tread blocks are cumulatively known as ribs.

Make sure to perform regular tread depth check in St. Helens to comply with the regulations and stay safe on roads.
