Have you checked your tread depth?

Letʼs check for indications of tread wear.

An indication of tread wear is when the tread depth drops to approximately 1.6mm.

When the tread is worn down …

1. The brakes are likely to become less effective on wet roads!
   When the tread depth drops below roughly 50% of new tyres, the brake performance of tyres on wet roads will gradually decline and the braking distance increases significantly.
2. Driving at high speeds in the rain is particularly dangerous!
   When the tread depth decreases, drainage capability declines and it is more likely to cause slippage in rainy weather. Aquaplaning tends to occur and diminish steering and brake effectiveness especially when driving at high speeds.

Using a tyre with indications of tread wear is prohibited as stipulated by laws and regulations.

tyres with a tread depth of 1.6mm or less are not allowed to be used as stipulated by laws and regulations.
