To check if your tyre is roadworthy, you’ll want to examine several key factors. Here’s a checklist you can go through:

 

1. Tread Depth

  • Legal minimum (UK, Australia, most EU countries): 1.6mm across the central ¾ of the tyre.

  • How to check:

    • Use a tread depth gauge, or

    • Insert a 20p coin (UK) into the tread – the outer rim of the coin should be hidden if tread is adequate.

    • Look for the built-in tread wear indicators (small horizontal bars in the tread grooves).

 

2. Tyre Pressure

  • Tyres must be inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure (check the owner’s manual or sticker inside the driver’s door).

  • Under or over-inflated tyres can reduce grip and increase wear.

 

3. Cracks, Bulges, or Cuts

  • Inspect the sidewalls and tread for:

    • Cracks (signs of ageing or damage)

    • Bulges or bubbles (indicate internal damage – unsafe)

    • Cuts or embedded objects (like nails or glass)

 

4. Uneven Wear

  • Check if the tyre is wearing more on one side, in the centre, or on the edges. This might indicate:

    • Poor wheel alignment

    • Incorrect pressure

    • Suspension problems

 

5. Foreign Objects

  • Remove any stones, glass, nails, etc., lodged in the tread.

  • If a nail or screw has punctured the tyre, have it assessed – don’t remove it yourself unless you’re repairing it immediately.

 

6. Age of the Tyre

  • Tyres older than 6–10 years may be unsafe even if they appear OK.

  • Find the DOT code on the sidewall – the last four digits indicate the week and year of manufacture (e.g. “1219” = 12th week of 2019).

 

7. Matching Tyres

  • All tyres on an axle must be the same size and type (e.g. both radial or both bias-ply).

  • Mismatched tyres can affect handling and braking.

Mobile tyre fitter vs roadside recovery

Here’s a breakdown of the differences between a mobile tyre fitter and roadside recovery, so you can clearly understand their roles and when you’d need each:

 

Mobile Tyre Fitter

What They Do:

  • A mobile tyre fitter comes to your location (home, work, roadside, etc.) to replace or repair tyres.

  • They carry equipment for:

    • Tyre replacement

    • Tyre puncture repair

    • Wheel balancing

    • Valve replacement

When You’d Use One:

  • You have a flat or damaged tyre but don’t need towing.

  • You want tyres replaced at home or work for convenience.

  • You have a slow puncture or need tyre rotation or seasonal change.

Typical Scenarios:

  • Flat tyre on your driveway.

  • Damaged tyre at your workplace car park.

  • Need for new tyres without visiting a garage.

Pros:

  • Convenient and flexible.

  • Avoids the need to visit a garage.

  • Usually cheaper than recovery if tyre is the only issue.

 

Roadside Recovery

What They Do:

  • Roadside recovery services (like AA, RAC, or Green Flag) help get your car moving again after a breakdown.

  • If the issue can’t be fixed on the spot, they’ll tow your vehicle to a garage.

Services Include:

  • Jump-starting a dead battery

  • Fuel delivery if you run out

  • Mechanical repairs (if minor)

  • Towing for major issues

  • Tyre changes (sometimes, but not always depending on the plan)

When You’d Use One:

  • Your car won’t start or breaks down.

  • You’re stuck due to more than just a flat tyre (e.g., engine, battery, or transmission issues).

  • You need towing.

Typical Scenarios:

  • Car won’t start due to dead battery or mechanical issue.

  • Broken down on motorway.

  • Flat tyre but no spare, and no mobile tyre service available.

Pros:

  • Covers a wide range of breakdown issues.

  • Towing included.

  • 24/7 service usually.
