🛞 As winter approaches, wet, cold and icy roads make safe tyres more important than ever.

We recognise the ongoing cost of living pressures and understand that replacing tyres can be expensive. However, safety must come first.

✅ Check your tyre tread
✅ Check pressures
✅ Look for cuts, bulges or other damage

Worn or damaged tyres put you and other road users at risk, particularly in poor weather.

If you're concerned about your tyres, please seek advice from a reputable tyre professional.

A few minutes checking today could help prevent a serious incident tomorrow 👍🏼

Thank you 🫶🏼

🏍️Are You an All-Weather Rider? Get Your Bike Ready for Autumn

For many motorcyclists, the arrival of autumn doesn’t mean putting the bike away. But wetter roads, falling leaves, lower temperatures and reduced daylight can make riding more challenging.
If you're an all-weather rider, now is a good time to make sure your tyres are ready for the change in conditions. An easy way to remember what to check is A.C.T.

A – Air pressure
Check your tyre pressures regularly and when the tyres are cold. Use the pressures recommended by your motorcycle or tyre manufacturer. Correct pressure is important for handling, braking and tyre performance.

C – Condition
Take a close look at both tyres. Check for cuts, cracking, bulges, embedded objects or other signs of damage. If something doesn't look right, get the tyre inspected by a competent motorcycle tyre specialist.

T – Tread
Check the tread across the tyre and don't wait until it is badly worn before taking action. Good tread is particularly important when riding on wet roads, where tyres need to disperse water effectively.

🚶‍♀️👨‍🦯👩‍🦽 Meddyliwch cyn i chi barcio ar y pafin

Efallai bod parcio ar y pafin yn ymddangos yn gyfleus, ond gall greu problemau mawr i eraill. Gall blocio pafin orfodi pobl i fynd ar y ffordd, gan eu rhoi mewn perygl ac yn gwneud teithiau'n anodd neu'n amhosibl i ddefnyddwyr cadair olwyn, pobl sydd ag anawsterau symud, pobl â nam ar eu golwg, a rhieni gyda babis mewn pram.

Mae pafin clir yn helpu pawb i deithio'n ddiogel ac yn annibynnol.

✅ Parciwch yn ystyriol
✅ Gadewch digon o le i gerddwyr
✅ Cadwch y pafin yn hygyrch i bawb

Mae’r pafin ar gyfer pobl, nid ar gyfer parcio. Gadewch i ni gadw ein llwybrau'n glir ac yn ddiogel.

🚶‍♀️👨‍🦯👩‍🦽 Think before you park on the pavement

Parking on the pavement might seem convenient, but it can create major problems for others. Blocked pavements can force people into the road, putting them at risk and making journeys difficult or impossible for wheelchair users, people with mobility issues, those with visual impairments, and parents with prams.

A clear pavement helps everyone travel safely and independently.

✅ Park considerately
✅ Leave enough space for pedestrians
✅ Keep pavements accessible for all

A pavement is for people, not parking. Let's keep our paths clear and safe.

🚗 October is Tyre Safety Month 🛞

Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle in contact with the road, so keeping them in good condition is vital for your safety and the safety of others.

Take a few minutes to ACT:

🌬️ Air pressure – Check your tyre pressures regularly and use the pressures recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.

🔍 Condition – Look for cuts, cracks, bulges or other signs of damage.

📏 Tread – Check you have sufficient tread across your tyres. The legal minimum tread depth for cars is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, around its entire circumference.

As we head into wetter autumn weather, well-maintained tyres can make a real difference to your vehicle's grip, braking and handling.

✅ Check your tyres today. Don't wait until something goes wrong.
