Are you confident behind the wheel—but are you confident in your tyres?

New TyreSafe research highlights a worrying gap between driver confidence and basic vehicle maintenance.

🚗 42% of drivers believe they’re better than average at handling emergencies, rising to 51% of male drivers.

But when it comes to tyre checks:
• 1 in 10 drivers have never checked their tyre pressure or tread depth
• Only 1 in 4 have checked their tyres in the past month

Confidence is not a substitute for preparation. Tyres are your vehicle’s only point of contact with the road, and their condition can have a major impact on braking, grip and control.

Make tyre checks part of your routine. Act before you REact.

🚗 New drivers: two illegal tyres could cost you your licence.

This September, TyreSafe is reissuing its flagship Young Driver Campaign to remind new and young drivers that tyre safety is their responsibility — even if they don’t own the vehicle they’re driving.

Driving with unsafe or illegal tyres can result in fines of up to £2,500 and 3 penalty points per tyre. For new drivers in their first two years on the road, just two illegal tyres could mean 6 penalty points and automatic licence revocation.

Our research found that 52% of UK drivers aged 17–24 don’t realise they are legally responsible for the condition of the tyres on any vehicle they drive.

That’s why we’re encouraging young drivers to remember ACT:

🔹 A – Air pressure
🔹 C – Condition
🔹 T – Tread

Know your tyres. Stay safe. Stay legal.
