TOP TIP TUESDAY 🛞
You should check your tyres at least once a month and before any long journeys to ensure correct pressure and condition.
Regular checks are vital for safety, preventing damage to your tyres and vehicle, increasing fuel efficiency, and helping you meet legal requirements for tyre maintenance.
What to Check 🛞
Tyre Pressure: At least monthly, check and adjust the air pressure in all your tyres, including the spare, to the manufacturer’s recommended level for your vehicle.
Tyre Condition: Look for any visible signs of damage, such as cuts, bulges, or cracks in the sidewalls.
Tread Depth: Use a tyre tread depth gauge or the 20p test to ensure the grooves are deep enough to provide adequate grip and are legal.
Why it’s Important 🛞
Safety: Correctly inflated and well-maintained tyres offer better grip, shorter braking distances, and reduce the risk of a tyre failure at speed.
Tyre Life: Regular checks and proper inflation can prevent premature tyre wear and extend their lifespan.
Fuel Economy: Under-inflated tyres increase fuel consumption, so maintaining the correct pressure helps you save money.
Legal Compliance: Drivers are legally required to ensure their tyres are in a safe and legal condition, which includes being correctly inflated.
