Will insurance pay out if tyres are bald?
If you’re in an accident and your tyres are below the tyre tread limit, your insurer is unlikely to pay out. This is because driving with bald tyres is considered a form of dangerous driving. The popular myth is that your insurance provider would cover the cost of 4 slashed tires, but not 3. If you think this sounds a little silly, you’re right. If your car insurance provider does cover the cost of slashed tires, they’re not going to limit coverage based on the number of tires slashed.
