With Irish legislation, the minimum tyre tread is 1.6mm. You should therefore check the condition of your tyres regularly- both the tread and tyre pressures. Underinflation leads to longer braking distances, a higher risk of aquaplaning, faster wear and higher fuel consumption.

If your tyres are worn and you want to have them replaced, you can make an appointment at a tyre centre approved by Ayvens. The tyre centre will confirm this and Ayvens will pay the invoice.

If you're unsure whether you can continue driving safely or your vehicle is immobilised, call Ayvens Assistance on 01-2407650- option 1.

If necessary, we will send a technician who will:

• •
  repair the tyre; • carry out a temporary repair so you can drive to a tyre centre safely
• •
  tow the vehicle and arrange a replacement vehicle for you. If you can still drive the car, you can go to a tyre centre approved by Ayvens.
