 Tyre tread - Dave_
I change mine when they're illegal.

My front tyres are Prime Well (ie budget ditchseekers), fitted 25,000 miles ago in 2008 to pass the MoT and still got 4mm remaining. Rubbish grip in the wet though, have to take it into account on greasy roundabouts. Rears are partworns, one Avon and one Tiger, not worn out yet. If they don't need swapping for the MoT this Spring (and providing it passes), I'll get some better ones put on it before next winter.

I check the tyre pressures weekly and feel for tread across the whole tyre width every time I wash the car, again weekly.
