our tyres are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road, which makes tyre tread depth a critical safety factor. Adequate tread depth helps channel water away from the tyre, maintaining grip and reducing the risk of aquaplaning on wet roads. When tread wears too thin, your vehicle’s ability to brake, corner, and handle safely is significantly compromised.
Every tyre comes with tread wear indicators, small raised sections within the grooves, that show when your tyres are nearing the legal minimum tread depth. In Australia, this minimum is 1.5mm—but for optimal safety, tyres should be replaced well before they reach that limit. Driving on worn tyres not only increases the risk of accidents but can also result in fines and failed safety inspections.
Tyre wear happens naturally over time but can also be accelerated by factors such as harsh braking, high-speed driving, poor wheel alignment, or rough road conditions. At Castle Hill Tyres & Auto, our technicians can quickly check your tread depth, advise you on when a replacement is needed, and recommend the right tyres for your vehicle and driving style.
Don’t leave tyre safety to chance. Visit Castle Hill Tyres & Auto for a professional tyre tread depth check and ensure your vehicle stays safe, stable, and roadworthy in all conditions.
