How to know when to change your car tyres

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Tires

Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to easily determine when it's time to change your car tyres. The first thing to do is to visually inspect them.

On the edge of the tyre, there is an indicator called TWI, which stands for "tyre wear indicator". Check the tread: when it reaches the level of the indicator, it means the tyre needs to be replaced. There are also very simple tools that check the tread depth.

In this case, cheaper doesn't mean less effective: you can find one on Ali Express with code 1005005131471599 for £1.89, with free shipping. Alternatively, you can use a one-pound or two-pound coin (depending on whether you're talking about summer or winter tyres).
