At the heart of our offering is the importance of good tyre tread depth, and how it plays a leading role in maintaining the safety of UK motorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But while we appreciate how essential good tyre tread depth is, not everyone does. For instance, a recent survey undertaken in 2017 revealed that 69% of motorists questioned didn\u2019t know the UK road legal minimum tyre tread depth. Now that sounds shocking, but ask yourself, do you know the answer? If not, you should, so read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good tyre tread depth is so important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Your tyres play a vital role in ensuring you maintain control of your car, especially when it comes to cornering and braking. If your tread depth is insufficient, your tyres won\u2019t be able to properly grip the road surface, and that can lead to an accident. This is especially true in wet weather conditions, where a lack of tread depth means tyres struggle to remove water from the road surface, increasing the likelihood of aquaplaning and the time it takes to come to a safe stop when you brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This tyre safety article outlines how best to avoid a large fine and penalty points on your license if you\u2019re caught with treads under the legal minimum. And it also introduces you to the quick, popular, easy-to-do tyre tread depth checking process \u2013 the 20p test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But first, some background on tyre treads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Tyre treads are those grooves on your tyres that remove water from the road, enabling your car to grip the surface. There\u2019s no doubt that, without them, you\u2019d severely struggle to maintain control your vehicle (no matter what it is) especially when cornering and braking, and in wet weather conditions (like we typically get all year round in Britain). The more tyre tread depth you have, the faster water can be cleared from the road surface \u2013 resulting in better grip. That means shorter <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/stopping-distance-tyres-play-a-starring-role?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=tread_depth_20p_test_article_2018\">stopping distances<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Most brand new tyres purchased through a legitimate retailer, like Asda Tyres, come with up to 8mm of tyre tread as standard. But over time \u2013 depending on how you drive, how far, and how often \u2013 the tread depth ultimately reduces, and, as is does, so does its ability to grip the road. Tyre experts, like us, and leading premium tyre manufacturers, like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/continental?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=tread_depth_20p_test_article_2018\">Continental<\/a><\/strong>, recommend that when your tread gets down to 3mm you should replace your tyres as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is despite the UK road legal tyre tread depth minimum being 1.6mm. We believe that this figure is far too low, and \u2013 like Continental \u2013 as members of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyresafe.org?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=tread_depth_20p_test_article_2018\">TyreSafe<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 the leading UK tyre safety organisation \u2013 we\u2019re campaigning to have the minimum tread depth level increased to 3mm. Why? Because at this level of tread depth, numerous independent tests have conclusively shown that a tyre\u2019s ability to grip rapidly deteriorates, and as a result UK drivers are needlessly being exposed to a greater risk of having an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20p_test_twi_article.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20p_test_twi_article.jpg\" alt=\"Continental's tyre depth graphic\" class=\"wp-image-912 lazyload\" width=\"570\" height=\"285\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20p_test_twi_article.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20p_test_twi_article-300x150.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 570px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 570\/285;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So how exactly can you ensure that your tyres stay UK road legal? How can you quickly and easily find out what your tread depths are, and subsequently know when it\u2019s time to replace your tyres? Manufacturer solutions for this issue vary, but Continental have built-in Tread Wear Indicators (TWI) within their tyres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally set below the 8mm level of tyre tread, these handy markers are always visible. But as tyre wear takes place, the tread depth reduces, ultimately to the level where it matches the TWI. It\u2019s at this point that you know you\u2019re either at the 3mm TWI mark (above, right \u2013 the recommended depth to change your tyres) or at the 1.6mm level (above, left \u2013 the UK road legal minimum).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20p_test_comparison_tyresafe_article.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20p_test_comparison_tyresafe_article.jpg\" alt=\"Tyre tread test with a 20p\" class=\"wp-image-913 lazyload\" width=\"570\" height=\"276\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20p_test_comparison_tyresafe_article.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/20p_test_comparison_tyresafe_article-300x145.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 570px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 570\/276;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Comparison image courtesy of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyresafe.org\/tyre-safety\/tread-depth?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=tread_depth_20p_test_article_2018\">TyreSafe<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time for change?

This simple yet ingenious method is a handy way of checking your tyre tread depth at any time, without the need for a tyre depth gauge. We recommend that UK drivers permanently keep a 20p coin in their car, so as to always be able to check their treads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So how does it work? Simply place it in the tread (multiple times, at various points around the length of the tyre) and if you can see the outer band on the coin face it means the tyre tread is too shallow \u2013 and probably illegal. It\u2019s not just time to think about replacing your tyres, it\u2019s essential you do so without delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the 20p test, UK drivers can quickly and easily maintain a regular check on their tyre tread depths, ensuring they aren\u2019t at risk of a fine and penalty points. But more importantly, doing the 20p test will help to make sure that the tyres fitted to your car provide you and your loved ones with the essential grip you need to maintain safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unsure about your tyre tread depth?
