Winter tyres are better in most circumstances when the temperature is below around 10 deg.

I have them on both van and car and they are terrific when it's cold. They cut through surface water better than any summer tyre and tests show stopping distances are far shorter.

They're not just for snow.  However, I will add that if it does snow, they are pretty much phenomenal.

It's three points on your license for each bald tyre and I think £100 spot fine so advisable before they lose grip.

We have a vehicle inspection book that is signed by the driver each day.

I'm not afraid to admit im a total spaz when it comes to certain things in life, such as vehicle maintenance 

I recently went to my garage and they said my passenger front wheel had low tread but it was still road legal and should last atleast 6 months.  My employee said he didnt think it looked safe and said lately on steep hills the handling doesn't seem as good and therefore he was worried.

I'm simply just trying to provide safety for my employee, but at the same time making sure im maximing use out of wheels.

Maybe i should just change the wheel because we are coming up to winter anyway and if tread is already low, might aswell just get it done.....

I think you answered your own question right there

Or take it to a tyre supplier and let them pass their verdict. If they will last a little longer then go with that.

Their verdict will be four new tyres.

its pretty obvious when your tread gets close to the marker(most tyres have these now).....

i actually change mine when the tyre thread is showing and theres bald patches.....

I hope your joking Daz 
Not only will it cost you 3 points on license for each tyre and fine, but it could also cost yours or somebody else's life if you have to brake suddenly

And when you check your tyres make sure you're checking oil and coolant levels regularly too.

it was nothing to do with the oil level mate......plenty of oil showing on the dipstick when the oil light came on....it was the oil pump! ....in fact i had another van years ago and the oil light came on one day and it was a faulty light....so i thought the same....2 mins later it seized my engine!lesson learned....
