    Car Tyres in Hertford

    Car Tyres in HertfordWhat tyres are the standard ones for my vehicle? On a used car it is not safe to assume that the tyres currently fitted are the ones ideal for your vehicle. The manufacturers handbook is the obvious first place to check, but there are a lot of tyre sale websites that allow you to type in your registration and find the same manufactorer information e.g. http://www.kwik-fit.com/tyre-search.asp & http://www.national.co.uk/tyres/

    What do tyre codings mean. 175/65 R14 T means 175mm width, 65 aspect ratio or the tyre side expressed as a percentge of the tyre width, R (radial), 14" wheel diameter, T speed rating 118mph. For a comprehensive list of these codings visit http://www.which.co.uk/cars/driving/car-tyres/best-car-tyre-brands/understanding-tyre-markings/ for some good examples

    When do tyres need replacing? The legal minimum is 1.6mm depth of tread across the centre 3/4 of the tread for the whole of the tyre. However most suppliers will recommend replacing tyres when down to 3mm depth. Tyre depth can effect braking performance so it is important to get tyres replaced before they get too worn down.

    Repairs can often be performed safely on a veichle without the need for a new tyre. A puncture doesn't mean you need a new tyre. A good tyre fitter in Hertford will be able to offer you good advice. Worn typres should always be replaced.
