What size tyres do I need?

One of the best and easiest ways to figure out what tyres you need is to check the sidewall of your current tyres. However, be aware that some vehicles, like Mercedes or BMW, can use different-sized tyres on the front and back.

Still unsure? Our experts are more than happy to help. Call Athersmith Motor Services today and book a quality tyres Ulverston check-up.

What are the minimum tread requirements? And how do I measure this?

The UK’s minimum legal requirement for tyre tread is 1.6mm. While you can use a gauge to measure this, the simplest method is to use a 20p.

Place the 20p into the part of your tyre with the least tread. If the coin’s outer rim is visible, your tyres must be checked immediately.

Driving with below requirement tread is illegal and highly dangerous. Don’t risk fines… or worse, an accident.

    Until today, I have always used the local Mercedes dealership to service my cars. Last week, surprisingly, Merc decided to close my local facility permanently - just when my CLS needed a service. I was lucky to find AMS Motor Services and they have just finished my car's 3 year major service. A superb job in every respect carried by friendly, helpful professionals. I'm delighted with the...

    I can't rate these guys high enough. I unexpectedly found my car damaged, they fit me into their already busy schedule and had my car sorted before the weekend despite the short notice and parts needed. Can't thank them enough

  • Joe Gough

    We used this company for the first time after a friends recommendation and reading the reviews, and so glad we did. The service was excellent in every respect and although for us it is by no means local, as we live in Arnside, we are no longer dependant on the main Land Rover dealerships.

    I’ve used AMS for everything from brake repairs, to a full engine swap in our old Hybrid Lexus.
    Fantastic service every time and I’ll happily keep on recommending them.

    2nd March 2023

    Our camper needed quite a bit of work doing on it, the sort of job where the quote makes you wince a bit though they clearly explained the total bill would depend on the condition of the existing parts once they could inspect them fully. Thankfully, the existing bit didn't need replacing. We're very pleased to have our van back on the road even if we can't afford to put fuel in it anymore ;-)... Read More
