Well-maintained tires are an essential feature of any vehicle, helping drivers to stay safe on the roads, particularly in wet or icy conditions.
Soon tires are a danger as they can result in a loss of grip and increased stopping distances, with the potential to cause accidents.
Tires without tread are also more likely to fail and experience a blowout which becomes especially dangerous when traveling at higher speeds.
Fines of up to £2,500 can be handed out per tyre.
