Tyres are an essential part of your vehicle. It is the only part of the car in-contact with the ground, so it must always be in the best condition to ensure your safety. The condition depends on many things, such as the driver, wheel alignment and pressure, and the road. In the UK, the minimum tyre tread depth is 1.6mm.
The depth of the tyre treads can be tested using the '20p Check', a 20p coin should fit enough so it hides the outer edges, otherwise your tyre may be illegal.

The best option would be to check the tyre itself. On the sidewall of the tyre, there are a few numbers printed on it that show the size of the tyre. The number before the forward slash is the width in mm. The number after the forward slash is height of the tyre sidewall as a percentage of the width. The number after the ‘R’ is the diameter of the tyre’s inner rim size in inches. You will need these when purchasing a tyre for your vehicle as every vehicle requires different sizes of tyres to be fitted onto them.
Another way to find the size of your tyres is by using a vehicle registration lookup tool online, but it can be less accurate so it's recommended to double check against the size on the tyre.
You should get your tyres changed if you experience any of the following signs of damage:
