In Great Britain, the legal minimum tyre tread depth for cars is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tread width and around the entire circumference. Driving with less than this can result in penalty points and a fine.
A heavy load significantly increases your vehicle's overall weight, which extends braking distances and alters steering response. It can also affect stability, particularly when cornering or if the load is not distributed correctly, making the vehicle harder to control.
You should increase your tyre pressure above the normal value when carrying a heavy load or towing a trailer. Always refer to your vehicle's handbook for the manufacturer's recommended pressures for various conditions.
Before towing, you must ensure your licence permits it, the vehicle and trailer are roadworthy (including legal tyres, working brakes, and lights), and you do not overload them. Distribute weight evenly in the trailer, with heavier items over the axle.
Yes, hitting a kerb, especially at speed, can cause significant damage to your tyres, such as splitting them or affecting the steering and suspension alignment. It's crucial to check for damage immediately after such an incident.
A tyre is illegal if its tread depth is below 1.6mm, if it has exposed ply or cord, or if it is seriously damaged. Using tyres with structural damage is highly dangerous and unlawful, and it will significantly reduce your control of the vehicle.
By completing Tyres & Loads, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Great Britain. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
