Learn how to check your tyre tread depth at home in Bradford using a 20p coin or tread depth gauge. Stay legal and safe on Bradford's roads.
Checking your tyre tread depth is one of the simplest and most important safety checks any Bradford driver can do. It takes less than two minutes and could save you from an expensive fine, penalty points, or — more importantly — a serious accident on West Yorkshire's roads.
The 20p Coin Test
The quickest way to check tyre tread in Bradford is the 20p coin test. Insert a 20p coin into the main tread grooves of your tyre. If the outer band of the coin is hidden by the tread, your tyres are above the legal limit of 1.6mm. If you can see the outer band clearly, your tyres may be below the legal limit and need replacing immediately — call Bradford Mobile Tyre Fitting for a free tread check.
Using a Tyre Tread Depth Gauge in Bradford
For precise measurements, a digital tyre tread depth gauge (available for under £5 from most Bradford motor factors) gives you an exact reading. Check at three points across the tyre width and in several locations around the circumference. Any reading below 2mm should prompt a replacement booking with your Bradford mobile tyre fitter.
