This article is part of the monthly content programme and is being written. The outline below is what it will cover.

Every treated tyre carries the same finish line: the 1.6 Guarantee runs for five years or until the tread wears down to 1.6mm, whichever comes first. Which means when you treat decides how much guarantee you get.

The full article covers:

  • Where the 1.6mm line comes from, and two ways to check your tread at home
  • Why treating at 7mm and treating at 3mm cost the same but buy very different cover
  • What the guarantee covers, and the exclusions we print at the same size
  • What pro-rata means in rands when a claim is settled
