Send this to whoever's "been meaning to check the tyres" since spring. 👀

The clocks have gone back. Darker evenings and wetter roads are here, so now's a good time for the checks you've been putting off.

3 checks. 5 minutes.

Tread depth: try the 20p test. The UK legal minimum for cars is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tread, all the way round.

Pressures: check them cold, using your car's own figures from the handbook, door sill or fuel flap.

Condition: look for cuts, cracks, bulges or anything stuck in the tread.

83% of drivers think they've got stopping distances sorted. Only 6% get the wet-weather answer right. 🤔

Flick through, lock in your answer, then check the reveal.

The Highway Code says stopping distances at least double in the wet. Your tread and tyre pressures are what's working hardest when you hit the brakes in the rain. This Tyre Safety Month, do the ACT check: Air pressure, Condition, Tread. Do it monthly and before long trips.

The clocks go back tonight 🍂 Are you on the right tyres for winter?

Answer 3 quick questions in the images and you’ll land on summer, all-season, or a summer + winter pair.

More UK drivers are going all-season. It’s been one of the UK’s fastest-growing car tyre segments (Tyres & Accessories, GfK/NIQ data).

Top tip: look for the 3PMSF snowflake on the sidewall. It means the tyre has passed a snow-grip test. M+S on its own doesn’t.

Whatever you fit, the UK legal minimum tread is 1.6mm across the central ¾ of the tyre.

83% of UK drivers believe they're in full control of their stopping distance.

But your stopping distance depends on four patches of rubber, each about the size of your hand.

October is Tyre Safety Month, and this year's message is simple: Act before you react.

ACT is three checks that take about five minutes:

Air pressure
Condition
Tread

Swipe through for how to do each one 👉

Do them once a month and before any long trip. If anything looks wrong, ask a tyre professional to take a look.

Did you know? A tyre worn to the legal limit can take nearly twice as long to stop in the wet as a new one. 🚌

Same emergency stop from 50mph, same wet road — but very different endings. A new tyre pulls up in just over 2 bus lengths. Worn down to 1.6mm, you're still moving past 4. That gap is the difference between stopping behind the car ahead and stopping in the back of it.

It comes down to tread. Those grooves clear the water so your tyres can grip. Wear them down and the water has nowhere to go — so you slide further before you stop.

That's why we say change at 3mm, not 1.6mm. A few millimetres now saves a lot of metres later.

Grip. Quiet. Price. Pick two — because no tyre wins all three. 👀

Swipe through and build yours. Every combo is a different kind of tyre, and the one you skip is the one you trade:
→ Grip + quiet: the premium pick
→ Grip + price: the sensible all-rounder
→ Quiet + price: the calm cruiser

The good news? You don't have to weigh it up alone. That's exactly the call our comparison makes for you — independent, and no brand pushed.
