Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle in contact with the road. Keeping them in good condition is vital for your safety, handling, and fuel efficiency. Worn or damaged tyres can lead to longer braking distances, reduced grip in wet conditions and an increased risk of punctures. Right now, at Ancaster we are offering savings across our entire tyre range, so it’s the perfect time to check your tyres and replace them if needed.
Everything You Need to Know About Tyres
Why are new tyres important?
New tyres provide better grip, shorter braking distances, and improved handling. Worn or damaged tyres increase the risk of accidents, especially in wet conditions, and can affect fuel efficiency.
When should I change my tyres?
Tyres should be replaced when the tread depth reaches 3mm for optimum performance. The legal minimum is 1.6mm, but stopping distances increase significantly below 3mm. Tyres should also be changed if they are cracked, damaged or more than 6 years old, even if the tread still looks good.
What is the new tyre depth?
A new tyre typically has a tread depth of around 8mm-10mm, depending on the type. This depth ensures maximum grip, stability and performance on both dry and wet roads.
How much does a new tyre cost?
The price of a new tyre depends on your vehicle and the tyre type. With Ancaster savings across all tyres, upgrading is more affordable than ever.
