Fleet Tyre Management Software for UK Businesses

FleetGS's tyre management adds tread depth recording to the driver's existing digital walkaround check, so every vehicle's tyre condition is logged with a timestamp and photo evidence as part of the routine daily inspection, rather than relying on a driver mentioning a worn tyre in passing. That record feeds into replacement scheduling and cost-per-mile reporting, giving fleet managers a live view of tyre condition and spend across the whole fleet instead of only finding out about a problem when a vehicle fails a check or picks up a puncture.

For cars and vans up to 3.5 tonnes, the legal minimum is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tread width, all the way around the tyre. Goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes have a separate, lower minimum tread depth requirement set out in DVSA guidance. Driving below the legal minimum risks a fixed penalty per tyre and points on the driver's licence, on top of the safety risk of reduced grip in wet conditions — which is why building tread depth checks into every walkaround check, rather than only checking when a problem is suspected, matters for compliance as much as safety.

Because tread depth is logged at every walkaround check, FleetGS can show which tyres are approaching the legal minimum well before they reach it, giving workshops time to schedule a replacement during planned downtime rather than pulling a vehicle off the road unexpectedly. This is particularly useful for fleets running mixed mileage patterns, where two vehicles of the same age can wear tyres at very different rates depending on routes, loads, and driving style.

Yes. Logging tyre replacements against each vehicle over time builds a cost-per-mile picture that can flag vehicles going through tyres faster than the rest of the fleet — often a sign of harsh driving, poor wheel alignment, or a route that's harder on tyres than others. Combined with FleetGS's driver behaviour scoring, this can help identify whether a specific driver, route, or vehicle is driving up tyre spend, rather than treating it as an unavoidable running cost.

Yes. FleetGS's tyre management logs tread depth and replacement history per vehicle regardless of type, so a mixed fleet of cars, vans, and HGVs is tracked from the same dashboard. HGV tyre checks carry additional weight given the more serious consequences of a tyre failure at higher speeds and loads, and FleetGS's digital walkaround check supports the more detailed inspection typically required for goods vehicles.
