Auto Express and Team Protyre carried out a Tyre Test with Who's The Mummy blogger Sally Whittle to uncover the difference in performance between new, part-worn and budget tyres.

Three identical Peugeot 308s were fitted with either a brand new set of tyres, budget tyres or part-worn tyres at Rockingham’s wet test facility. Check out the video below to see the results:

The facts and figures behind the dangers of illegal tyres

• It is estimated that there are 10 million illegal tyres on Britain's roads which worringly, is the equivalent to one in four cars

• On average, 1000 motorists are killed each year due to illegal tyres

• One in five drivers have never checked their tyres' tread depth

• Alarmingly 42% of drivers do not even know how to check tread depth
