What tyres do
Tyres are the only contact point between the car and the road. Condition, pressure and tread depth directly affect braking, grip and stability.
What we check
- Tread depth and wear pattern
- Pressures and valve condition
- Sidewall damage and age cracking
- Tyre ratings (size/speed/load)
- Wheel balance where required
Common issues
- Uneven wear (alignment/suspension)
- Punctures and slow leaks
- Vibration at speed
- Under/over inflation
MOT relevance
MOT checks tread depth, damage and suitability. If you’re close to the limit, it’s worth changing before the test.
