Here's a statistic that's worth thinking about.

According to our latest research, only 1 in four drivers has checked their tyres in the past month.

Tyre checks don't take long, but they can have a significant impact on your vehicle's braking, grip and control. If checking your tyres isn't already part of your routine, there's no better time to start than today.

This Tyre Safety Month, make a simple promise to yourself: check your tyres regularly and encourage others to do the same.

October weather can be unpredictable. 🌦️🍂
One day it’s sunny and dry, the next it’s cold, wet and foggy — and your tires need to be ready for all of it.

As temperatures drop and road conditions change, keep an eye on:
🛞 Tire tread depth and overall condition
💨 Correct tire pressure
🌡️ Temperatures and changing road conditions
🍂 Wet leaves, rain and reduced visibility

Good tires are your connection to the road — so make sure they’re ready for whatever autumn brings.

Stay alert. Check your tires. Drive safe. 🚗

1.6mm isn’t a target. It’s the legal minimum. For cars in the UK, tyres must have at least 1.6mm of tread across the central three-quarters of the tyre, around its entire circumference. But tread has an important job long before you reach that number, helping to disperse water from beneath the tyre in wet conditions. Wet grip reduces as tread wears, so don’t make the legal limit the point at which you finally take a look. Check regularly and know how much tread you’re relying on when the rain starts falling.

191 part-worn tyres. Seven businesses. What we found should concern every driver.

As part of TyreSafe's joint enforcement activity with Trading Standards, police teams and local authorities, an inspection in Norfolk found that 36% of 191 part-worn tyres inspected were in a dangerous condition, including exposed cords, structural damage and poor repairs.

Only one tyre met full legal safety and marking requirements. Unsafe tyres were immediately removed from sale, with enforcement action taken against non-compliant traders.

These aren't hypothetical risks. They are issues being uncovered through enforcement activity in the part-worn tyre market.

A drop in temperature can affect tyre pressure more than many drivers realise.

Even relatively small changes in weather can leave tyres underinflated, affecting handling, braking and fuel efficiency.

Because pressure loss isn’t always visible, regular checks remain important throughout the year.

Your tyres respond to changing conditions, whether you notice them or not.
