Tyre warning for everyone with a car in South Africa

• Tyre warning for everyone with a car in South Africa: If you have a car in South Africa, you may not be able to get insurance pay for a car accident claim if your tyres were not adequately maintained.
• The South African legal tread minimum is 1 mm, but Michelin's safety threshold is 1.6 mm, and tyres that do not meet these standards can void a comprehensive claim.
• Motorists are advised to check their tyres regularly to ensure they are safe and won't impact a claim, including checking for visible cord, cuts, lumps, or bulges, and ensuring tyres are not older than 10 years.
