Q1. What is the legal minimum tyre tread depth in the UK?
The legal minimum tread depth is 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. We recommend replacing your tyres earlier (around 3 mm) to stay safe. Our technicians can check your tyres for free when you visit.
Q2. How can I check tyre tread quickly?
Use a tread depth gauge or the 20p test. If the outer band of the coin is visible, your tyres may be too worn. Not confident? Bring your MG to Read MG Grimsby and we’ll inspect them for you.
Q3. How often should I check tyre pressure?
Check cold tyre pressures at least once a month and before long trips. We can also check and adjust your tyre pressures when you visit.
Q4. How old is my tyre — can I check the manufacture date?
Every tyre has a date code on the sidewall. Older tyres can harden and lose grip even with good tread. Bring your car in if you want our team to check your tyres’ age.
Q5. Can run-flat tyres be repaired after a puncture?
Run-flat tyres often cannot be safely repaired. Our technicians will inspect your tyres and advise if replacement is needed.
Q6. What’s the difference between wheel balancing and wheel alignment?
Q7. How soon should I replace worn or damaged tyres?
Replace immediately if tread is below the legal limit or if there’s any damage like bulges, cuts, or cracks. Our team can check your tyres and recommend the safest option.
Q8. Do I need different tyres for winter?
Winter tyres improve grip in cold, wet, and icy conditions. All-season tyres are also an option. Our team can advise on the best choice for your MG model.
Q9. Can you fit tyres to any MG model?
Yes — we fit tyres for all MG models, from the MG3 to the MG4 EV and MG HS. We match tyres to your car’s specification.
Q10. What’s included with a tyre fitting at Read MG Grimsby?
Removal of old tyres, fitting and balancing of new tyres, new valves if needed, and a wheel alignment check when required. Safe disposal of old tyres is included.
