Section 4.2 - Tyres
Tread depth: Do not allow your tyres to wear down too much. Most vehicles on the road must have a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm over the main treads. For motorcycles and vintage vehicles the minimum tread depth is 1 mm. However, make sure you replace your tyres before they become this worn.
Pressure: Regularly check the pressure of every tyre, including the spare tyre, and pay attention to the recommended pressure levels.
Checking for damage: Regularly examine your tyres for cuts, cracks and bulges, which could cause unexpected 'blow-outs'.
Replacing tyres: Buy replacement tyres only from reputable dealers and do not mix radial and cross-ply tyres on any one axle.
Temporary use (space saver) spare tyres: Use only these tyres to complete a journey or make a journey to a tyre dealer. Do not travel at a speed in excess of the recommended speed stamped on the tyre.
