Are used tyres safe? What to actually check

A well-chosen used tyre can be just as safe as new — the trick is knowing what to look at.

The three numbers

• •Tread depth (aim for 4 mm+)
• •Age via DOT (under ~5 years)
• •Even wear with no sidewall damage

Every GRIP 93 listing shows all three plus a 12-point inspection, so you're never guessing.
