Tyres

Why should you check your tyres?
Did you know that you are not insured when driving on illegal tyres? Worn tyres significantly impede the performance of your car. Do not forget that a worn tyre reduces the effectiveness of braking, steering, and acceleration, all of which are vital in staying safe.

What should you check?
The Tyre Industry Council have devised a five point tyre check:

• Check overall condition of tyres, including inner and outer sidewalls.
• Check tyre tread depth.
• Check all tyre pressures.
• Check signs of irregular wear, i.e. alignment.
• Check and examine the spare tyre.
