There is no fixed mileage for how long tyres last because it depends on driving style, road conditions, tyre quality, and vehicle maintenance. However, tyres typically last around 20,000 to 40,000 miles under normal driving conditions.
- Key factors affecting tyre lifespan include:
- Driving habits (hard braking, fast cornering, speeding)
- Road surfaces and potholes
- Tyre pressure and wheel alignment
- Vehicle weight and load
- Tyre brand and compound
- Regular rotation and maintenance
You need tyres that match your car manufacturer’s recommended size, load rating, and speed rating. This information can be found in your owner’s manual, on the driver’s door sticker, or inside the fuel filler flap. Tyres must also be the same size and type on the same axle and meet the legal tread depth of at least 1.6 mm in the UK. For more information, give our blog a read on ‘what tyres do I need for my car’.
Yes. You can fail an MOT if your tyres are unsafe or illegal, including if they have:
- Less than 1.6 mm tread depth
- Damage (cuts, bulges, exposed cords)
- Incorrect size or type
- Tyres mismatched on the same axle
Tyres must be road legal and in good condition to pass an MOT. Come down to your local Tyre Group centre for expert advice on your tyres.
In the UK, tyres must have at least 1.6 mm tread depth across the central three quarters of the tyre. You can check tyre tread by:
- Using a tread depth gauge
- Using the 20p coin test - if the outer rim is visible, the tread is likely too low
You should not drive on a flat tyre, even a short distance can damage the tyre and wheel and make the car unsafe. If you get a flat tyre, stop as soon as it’s safe and use a spare wheel, repair kit, or call for breakdown assistance.
Sometimes, but we wouldn’t advise it. Run flat tyres can only be repaired if the damage is minor and the tyre hasn’t been driven too far while flat. A tyre specialist from the Tyre Group must inspect it first. If there’s internal damage, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced. For more information, check our blog that goes into more detail about run flat tyres.
The legal requirement as per the UK Highway Code is that tyres must have at least 1.6 mm tread depth across the central three quarters of the tyre and around the entire circumference. Driving with illegal tyres can result in fines and penalty points, so it’s important to get them checked out. Pop into your local Tyre Group Centre, and we can check them for you and advise next steps if you need new tyres.
Use the pressure recommended by your car manufacturer, found in the owner’s manual, on the driver’s door sticker, or inside the fuel filler flap. Correct tyre pressure improves safety, fuel efficiency, and tyre life, so it's important your tyres are running on the correct pressure.
Most vehicles now notify you when your tyre pressure is low, however you need to check your tyre pressure at least once a month and before long journeys. Always check when tyres are cold for an accurate reading. For more information on when your tyre pressure should be checked, read our blog - written by experts.
Driving on illegal tyres can lead to fines, points, and MOT failure. A tyre is illegal in the UK if it:
- Has less than 1.6 mm tread depth across the central three quarters
- Has cuts, bulges, or exposed cords
- Is the wrong size or type for your car
- Is mismatched on the same axle
Summer tyres are best for warm, dry, or wet roads. They are harder rubber for grip in heat. Winter tyres are better for cold, icy, or snowy conditions the tyres have softer rubber and special tread for grip in low temperatures. Using the right type improves safety and stopping distances.
