205..The tyre section width in millimetres. (width)
55....Tyrewall height divided by tyre width. (profile)
R .....Tyre construction. ie:- R for radial
16 ....Rim diameter in inches. (wheel)

To find out if you need new tyres:

 The law states that there should be a 'minimum of 1.6mm of tread across the central 3/4 of the tyre and all the way round'.

 So what does that actually mean in practice?

How do you measure this?

 

 

 

 

 

The law says that the tread must be a minimum of 1.6mm deep across the central 3/4 of the tyre

  AND 

ALL THE WAY ROUND.

Its all about safety.

Your tyres are the only point of the car in contact with the ground.

 

The correct pressure is important both for safety and for a long tyre life.

Check tyre pressures (including the spare tyre) monthly, and before any long trip. Correct the tyre pressures if they no longer correspond to the pressures recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Tyre pressures should be checked cold (tyres not having run for at least 2 hours, or having run for less than 2 miles at low speed). If tyre pressures are checked hot, add 4 to 5 psi (0.3 bar) to the recommended pressures.

Inflation using nitrogen does dispense with the need to frequently check tyre pressures. Read more about Nitrogen here

Information on the recommended tyre pressures can be found in the vehicle documentation, and often on a sticker fixed to the vehicle, for example on the door jamb or on the fuel filler cap.

In case of unusual pressure loss, have the internal and external condition of the tyre checked, as well as the condition of the wheel and valve.
