It is also illegal to run your vehicle on tyres with severe damage. This can take the form of deep cuts and bulges, and will make them just as dangerous on the roads. If your tyres prove to be bald or damaged in any way, you need to call us as soon as possible! Before calling Camel Tyres, you will need to make a note of your tyre size as there is no guaranteed way of telling what size tyres are on your vehicle without looking. This can be found on the side wall of your tyre.
