National Tyre Month
ACT now before it’s too late:
Air Pressure – Check your air pressures once a month and before a
long journey. Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended
tyre pressure. Ensure a dirt-free valve cap is always fitted.
Condition of Tyres – Regularly check tyres for cuts and bulges and
remove any stones from the tread. Look for signs of uneven tyre wear.
Tread Depth – Regularly check your tread depth.
Ensure your tyres meet the legal requirements of a minimum 1.6mm of tread in a continuous band throughout the central three-quarters of the tread width and over the whole circumference of the tyre.
* New Survey from ROSPA reveal that *
* 75% of motorists are potentially breaking the law *
New car sales in the UK are already being affected by the credit crunch and there is now mounting evidence that motorists are delaying replacing worn and defective tyres.
This false economy is putting drivers, passengers and other road users in danger of an accident or the potential for prosecution, don't let it be you!
Defective tyres and wheels accounted for a fifth of MOT failures in 2007,
according to statistics from VOSA.
Correct tyre pressure helps you brake, steer and corner more safely.
It prolongs the life of your tyre and optimises fuel economy, helping you to save money. It also decreases environmental pollution by reducing the amount of CO2 produced by your engine.
Monthly tyre pressure checks can help save lives, save money, save the
environment, and are free to carry out.
