Tyre condition

Why do I need to change all four tyres?

We recommend changing all of the tyres at the same time. In some cases two tyres can be changed: either both front tyres or both rear tyres. In these cases, the new tyres should be the same brand and model as the old tyres to ensure safety and maneuverability.

How do worn-down tyres affect driving?

In slippery conditions, the car’s breaking distance is longer and handling becomes more difficult. Tyres are unable to move water, snow and slush out of the way, losing the feeling of road contact.

How are tyres maintained?

Always perform a visual assessment for tyres before driving, and inspect more closely every 3-4 weeks. Quick checks can improve driving safety and comfort, and extend the life of tyres.

When should a tyre be taken in for maintenance?

Consult a tyre expert immediately if the tyre becomes deflated when in use or if you notice external damage to the tread or the sides of the tyre, such as punctures, cuts, abrasion, or uneven wear.

How deep are the groove depths of new and old tyres?

New tyres have a groove depth of over 8 millimeters, though often more than 9 millimeters.

How can I measure the depth of the tread on my tyres?

An easy way to measure the groove depth is to use a two-euro coin: place it in the main groove in the central part of the tread. If the silver edge of the coin is still visible from within the tread, the depth is less than 4 mm.
