When to Change Saab Car Tyres
- You are legally responsible to make sure your car tyres are in an acceptable condition and depth of tread
- If your tyre tread is thin car performance gets worse
- You also need to check your car tyre pressure
Legal Saab Car Tyre Limits
- Readings taken at three points around the width of each tyre must average more than 1.6mm depth tread
- Penalties currently include £2,500 plus 3 points on your driving licence for each illegal tyre
Why Approach Saab Recommends 3mm Depth Tread Minimum
A Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents ( RSPA ) study shows that once a tyre has less than 3mm depth tread performance deteriorates quickly :- “ Just legal ” tyres are about two thirds as effective as new tyres on hot rolled tarmac…
- … and they are little more than half as effective as new tyres on smooth concrete
| Saab Car Tyre Age | Tyre Tread Depth | How Worn is Your Tyre ? | How Safe is Your Tyre ? |
| Brand new tyre | 8 mm | None | Safe |
| Typical tyre | 3 mm | Three quarters gone | Approach Recommends Tyre Change |
| Illegal tyre | 1.6 mm | Nearly gone | Dangerous |
