If you look after your tyres properly, they will perform well for many years, right until the day you need to replace them. Regular tyre safety checks reduce the risks of an incident while on the road but an estimated one-in-five drivers have never checked the tread on their tyres, a startling number which rises to one-in-three among young drivers.
Checking and maintaining tyres is essential and should be carried out every couple of weeks. Make sure before you check your tyres they are cold and you use a reliable tyre gauge.
You can look after your tyres yourself with some very simple tyre maintenance:
1. checking tyre pressure
2. checking tyre treads
3. keeping your wheels aligned
4. maintaining good driving habits
5. not overloading your car
6. rotating your tyres
7. using seasonal tyres
By keeping your tyres at their correct pressure, you'll reduce your running costs. Likewise, over inflated tyres can be more sensitive to impacts, can wear more quickly and sometimes more irregularly. But most importantly your tyres are crucial for safe braking and cornering, keeping you and your passengers safe.
If you find you’re not confident to check your vehicles tryes our aftersales teams are on hand to help with any maintenance enquires. Book your vehicle in for a Winter Car Check before the turn of the season so that you can feel secure on the road this winter.
