Nissan Tyres - every mm counts
Ensure that your tyres are safe. Worn down tyres can increase your stopping distance by nearly double the normal distance.
Nissan's advanced driver tech keeps you safe on the road and just as importantly, our check service ensures that your tyres are safe to drive on.
If your thread depth is too low, even by a millimetre, this can adversely affect your stopping distance, as a well decrease your fuel efficiency. So visit Nissan for peace of mind, from head to tyre.Do not risk it, ensure your tyres are safe to travel. Get your new tyres from only £29. >>Click Here<<
KEEP YOUR TYRES IN TIP TOP CONDITION WITH OUR 4 STEP GUIDE
1. STOPPING DISTANCES IN WET CONDITIONS AT 50MPH
2. CHECK YOUR TREAD DEPTH
What is minimum thread depth?
The current legal limit is 1.6mm tread over the central 3/4 of the tyre in a continuous band around the entire circumference of the tyre.
3. CORRECT TYRE PRESSURE
4. OFFENCE POSITION AND HANDLING
When replacing the tyres the ideal situation would be to replace all four together. As front and rear tyres wear at different rates, this is not always practical, therefore leading manufacturers would recommend that new tyres are fitted to the rear (where possible) and the older tyres are moved to the front.
*Please note that although the majority of tyres are produced with 8mm tread depth, some tyres are produced with less and so the wear rate should be adjusted accordingly. Please note that 1.6mm is the legal limit regardless of starting thread depth.
**The current legal limit is 1.6mm tread over the central 3/4 of the tyre in a continuous band around the entire circumference of the tyre. 'RoSPA recommends that tyres are changed once the thread reaches 3mm in depth'.
