No obligation free tyre condition and pressure check
Hello all,
Firstly I hope you are all well and good!
It's Shaun here from SPM Tyre Centre, with the weather changing and becoming wet and cold it's vital to check the condition of your tyres as well as keeping on top of the pressures. 10 degree in weather can make the pressure fluctuate by 3-5psi.
Some of you may have noticed your TPMS alert going off on the dash due to the rapid decreases in temperature lately. This is more than likely due to the drop in temperature rather than anything sinister like a nail or screw in the tyre. If you have any worries or concerns regarding this please feel free to call in or phone me and I will happily check the pressures and reset the TPMS for free. If there is a puncture that can be repaired I can also accommodate this and get it fixed which will last the life of the tyre.
Also with the weather getting so bad again this time of year it is imperative that you check the condition and tread depth of your tyres as that can make the difference between keeping control of the vehicle or having an accident due to aqua plaining or worse.
It's often the inner or outer edge that will wear first especially if the tracking hasn't been checked for some time. When I check the condition of tyres I find it best to put the vehicle on a full lock (either left or right) and then you're able to see the whole contact surface area and determine if there is even wear and also see the tread depth across the whole area.
It's also advisable to have a matching pair of tyres on each axel (front and back) but ideally four the same as this will also make a difference when it comes to water displacement and heavy braking.
If you would like a free tyre pressure and condition check them I am happy to do this for any old or new customers, just give me a call on 07393868838, email [email protected] or call in and see me next door (on the left) to Forge Garage, The Moors, Kidlington, OX5 2AJ. I will always give you an honest opinion of the life expectancy of each tyre as well as ensuring they are all set to the correct pressures for your vehicle, keeping you as safe as can be in these adverse conditions.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I hope you all have a nice day!
Kind regards,
Shaun
