Tyres & Wheel Alignment

It is not only important to keep your tyres in good order for legal reasons but Fuel Economy, Handling & Driving Safety. Your tyre needs to have a tread depth of at least 1.6mm throughout a continuous band comprising the central three quarters of the breadth of the tread and around the entire outer circumference of the tyre. (Breadth of tread means the width of that part of the tyre which is in contact with the road surface under normal conditions).     

This applies to tyres on cars, light vans (not exceeding 3,500kg gross weight) and light trailers.

    An example of miss-alignment below:
    By viewing the diagram below, you can see that the front wheels of the vehicle are not aligned to the rear thrust line. This can be caused through normal wear, stress and everyday driving.

    In this example, if the driver was to steer straight ahead, they would feel the car 'pulling to the side'. This would result in the driver continuously having to adjust the steering wheel in order to keep the car in a straight line. It only takes a very small miss-alignment for this to happen and often results in an uncomfortable drive and uneven tyre wear.
