Worn tyres need to be replaced as they can put yourself and your car in danger. One of the most common causes for car crashes in Nigeria is a defective vehicle, most of which is due to tyres not meeting minimum tread standard.
You would ask though, how much does tread depth really make a difference? Through Nigeria research it can be said that when a vehicle is going 80km/h on a wet surface with only 1.6mm tread depth the vehicle will stop after 40 metres. On a vehicle with >7mm tread depth the stopping distance is only 26 metres. This could be the difference between stopping safely and having a car accident.
Not to mention the safety aspect of having worn tyres it can also leave your wallet feeling a lot lighter. Nigerian Road Safety Corps can hand your car a defect notice too which can be a costly exercise.
