According to Portuguese law and IMT standards, the minimum legal tread depth for light vehicle tyres is 1.6 mm across the entire contact surface.
Tyre pressure should be checked at least once a month, and always when the tyres are cold. Checking them when they are cold ensures an accurate reading, as driving heats them up and increases pressure.
Correct tyre pressure is crucial for optimal grip, vehicle stability, braking efficiency, and fuel economy. Incorrect pressure can lead to uneven wear, reduced handling, increased braking distances, and a higher risk of aquaplaning or even blowouts.
No, a visual inspection alone is not sufficient. While it can reveal obvious damage or severe wear, accurate tyre pressure must be measured with a gauge, and tread depth should be checked precisely to ensure it meets legal requirements. You cannot visually ascertain correct pressure.
Tyres degrade over time due to exposure to UV light, temperature fluctuations, and chemical processes, regardless of mileage or tread depth. As a general recommendation, tyres older than 5-7 years can have reduced grip and an increased risk of failure. It's advisable to have them professionally inspected after five years of use.
Driving with tyres that do not meet legal requirements, such as insufficient tread depth, severe damage, or incorrect type for the vehicle, can result in substantial fines and potentially lead to vehicle immobilisation and points on your driving license under Portuguese traffic law.
By completing Tyre Safety & Maintenance, 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 Portugal. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
