With tyres being the only link between your van and the road it is vital our Mercedes-Benz trained technicians look at the condition of your tyres when your vehicle comes in for a service or visual health check.
Tyres are critical when it comes to a safe braking distance; the higher the tread depth the quicker you stop consequently minimising fuel consumption.
A standard tyre starts with approximately 8 mm of tread, over a period of time this decreases due to a number of reasons including vehicle condition & performance, weather conditions, road surface and how the vehicle is driven.
Tyres have a legal minimum tread depth at which point they must be replaced. Driving with excessive damage to the tyre sidewalls is dangerous and can result in a blow-out. Mercedes-Benz recommend that tyres are replaced when they reach a tread depth of 3mm or if there is any damage to the sidewalls, to ensure the road holding and safety of your van is not compromised.
If your tyre is seen to be below the legal limit then this can result in:
| Illegal Tyres | Maximum Fine | Points on licence |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | £2,500 | 3 |
| 2 | £5,000 | 6 |
| 3 | £7,500 | 9 |
| 4 | £10,000 | 12 |
