Thanks DCM for a great service today. Came in with a punctured tyre, repaired and back on the road in 30 minutes.
You must maintain your vehicle’s tyres since they establish a secure bond between your car and the road. Your tyres keep you and other road users safe!
There is no room for neglect when it comes to your tyres. If you have inadequate tread depth, you will have a longer stopping distance and are more likely to be involved in an accident. It could also land you in trouble with the police, resulting in hefty fines.
Keeping you safe is one of our top priorities at DCM Autocentres. With our expert technicians, you can expect excellent quality and outstanding value. Using our expertise, skills, and technical knowledge, we can assess the safety of your tyres. In the event they need to be replaced, we will do so.

What are the minimum tread requirements? And how do I measure this?
There is a minimum legal requirement for tyre tread depth in the UK of 1.6mm. You can use a gauge to measure this, but 20p coins are the easiest way to measure the depth.
In the tyre with the least tread, place the 20p coin. Check your tyres immediately if the outer rim of the coin is visible.
In addition to being extremely dangerous, driving with less than this is illegal. Don’t put yourself at risk of fines or accidents.

How to check your tyre pressure?
Usually, inside the driver’s door or on your vehicle’s fuel cap is where you can find the recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle.
First, ensure all dust caps are removed from your vehicle. You can then find the current pressure by putting a pressure gauge on a tyre valve.
You should compare your actual reading with the recommended pressure levels. Ensure that the air machine is set to the correct pressure and start inflating your tyres.
