Re: Tyres - Advice needed
Lindy, I can’t understand why they’re advising you to change tyres with reasonable tread depth left, did they highlight other problems with the tyres?, is the wear even across the tyre?, is there any damage?, they do advise changing tyres if they are old, but as yours aren’t that shouldn’t be a problem, maybe they are trying to drum up a bit of business, not sure if you have a Kwik fit on the iow, but I’d be inclined to get a second opinion...Re: Tyres - Advice needed

Re: Tyres - Advice needed
No one has mentioned so far that it's not just the tread depth that matters but also how old tyres are. If they are older than six years, it's recommendable to start looking for replacements no matter how deep the tread may still be. Over here, MOT may be denied if tyres are too old. That's why it is important to make sure that a garage doesn't try to sell you allegedly new tyres that are, in fact, already two or three years old. This is another reason why I buy tyres from specialists with a high turnover and have the checks done by another garage.Re: Tyres - Advice needed
I did mention in one of my earlier posts about the age of lindyloos tyres, but hers are only three years old so will be ok, there is a date stamp on tyres, it will show the year and week of manufacture.ie the numbers might be 3718, that means it was made on the 37th week of 2018,Re: Tyres - Advice needed
