Tyre Safety

---

Check Your Pressures

•  You'll find the recommended pressures inside the drivers' manual. Check the pressure when the tyre is cold, as even a short journey will warm up tyres and raise the pressure.  
• Under-inflation can cause tyre damage, uneven wear, and an increase in fuel consumption.
•  Over inflated tyres give a less comfortable ride and wear out in the centre of the tread. 
•  Check the pressure in the spare tyre to ensure it's ready in an emergency. 

Check Your Tread

•  Worn tyres means less grip. 
•  Abnormal or uneven wear can often be an indication of a mechanical defect on the vehicle. In these circumstances the mechanical parts (steering, wheel alignment, brakes) should be checked immediately. 

Check for Damage

•  Look for cuts, cracks and bulges or any other evidence of damage from violent impact or kerbing. Damaged tyres may be illegal and can be dangerous.  
• If you’re unsure about the condition or pressure of your tyres, just phone or call in to see us and our fully trained tyre specialists will be happy to carry out a comprehensive inspection – completely free of charge.

Suspect a Puncture?

•  Damage caused by driving over a pothole, kerbing or small, sharp foreign objects, all contribute to a slow puncture.    If you suspect you may have a puncture, let our tyre specialists assess it for you.
