Stay Legal - Stay Safe

Your tyres are probably the most important piece of equipment on your car. Those strips of rubber are all that sit between your car and the road at speeds of up to 70mph. As such, it's vital to your safety that they are kept in good order and checked regularly for wear and correct inflation. Call Riverside Auto Centre on (01978) 266007 today for the best deal on tyres in Wrexham.

Worn Tyres

Apart from the risk of a hefty fine and points on your license for driving with worn tyres, they're simply not safe. The legal limit is currently 1.6mm tread depth across the central 75% of the tyre. The penalty for each tyre is a £2,500 fine and 3 points on your license.

If all four tyres are below the legal limit, you could face a £10,000 fine and risk a driving ban. Call Riverside Auto Centre today for a free tyre check and for the best deal on tyres from manufactures such as Dunlop, Michelin, Pirelli & more.

We now also stock Maxxis Tyres with a Lifetime Warranty against defects in manufacture or materials*

How incorrectly inflated tyres can affect your car

Incorrectly inflated tyres can affect your car's steering, road holding and handling, result in faster and uneven tyre wear, increase fuel consumption, increase stopping distances and affect the comfort of you and your passengers.

The diagram below shows how your tyres make contact with the road when under, correctly and over-inflated
