Driving in the Heat? Your Tyres Take the Heat Too. β˜€οΈπŸš—

When the temperature rises, your tyres work harder than you might think. Heat increases tyre pressure and puts extra stress on the rubber, especially during long journeys.

Before you set off, take a couple of minutes to check:
βœ” Tyre pressures (when the tyres are cold)
βœ” Tread depth and overall condition
βœ” Any cuts, cracks or bulges
βœ” That your spare tyre is ready too, if you have one

A few simple checks can improve safety, reduce unnecessary tyre wear and help you avoid problems when you're out on the road.

Don't Wait for a Problem to Slow You Down!

It's easy to forget about your tyres when everything feels fine, but small issues can quickly become bigger and more expensive if they're left unchecked.

A few simple checks can make all the difference:
βœ” Check your tyre pressures regularly
βœ” Keep an eye on tread depth and uneven wear
βœ” Look for cuts, bulges or objects in the tread
βœ” Have your wheel alignment checked if the car pulls to one side or your tyres are wearing unevenly

Looking after your tyres helps keep you safer on the road, improves fuel efficiency and can even help your tyres last longer.

Now this is something you don’t see every day! πŸ‘€

A beautiful Volkswagen Karmann Ghia stopped by for a pair of Nankang tyres on the front, getting it ready for the upcoming show season.

Based on Volkswagen Beetle mechanicals but wrapped in that unmistakable Italian-designed body, the Karmann Ghia remains one of VW’s most distinctive classics.

And just look at that cream interior against the deep burgundy paint. πŸ‘Œ

Always nice to see something a little different coming through York Tyre Sales.

A proper bit of Japanese motoring history in the workshop.πŸ”₯

This R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R came in for a pair of Nankang NS-2R tyres, followed by a Hunter wheel alignment to get everything set up properly.

And this isn't just any Skyline. The R32 GT-R earned the nickname β€œGodzilla” thanks to its incredible motorsport success, particularly in Australia. In 1991 and 1992, the R32 took back-to-back Australian Touring Car Championship titles, as well as Bathurst victories in both years.

Its reputation wasn't limited to Australia either. Nissan records show the R32 won all 29 Group A races it entered in the Japanese Touring Car Championship between 1990 and 1993.

This particular example has had a few tweaks over the years and is estimated to be putting out somewhere around 500bhp. πŸ‘€

Safe to say, it was a nice one to have through the doors!

Could Your Tyres Fail an MOT?

Your tyres are one of the quickest reasons a vehicle can fail its MOT, but they're also one of the easiest things to check.

The legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, around the entire circumference. If your tyres are below this limit, your vehicle will fail its MOT and could leave you with a fine and penalty points if driven on the road.

It's not just tread depth that matters. During an MOT, tyres are also checked for:
β€’ Cuts, bulges or exposed cords
β€’ Uneven or excessive wear
β€’ Damage that could affect safety
β€’ Correct tyre size and suitability for the vehicle

If you're unsure whether your tyres are road legal, pop in and we'll be happy to check them for you.

Quick Question...

When was the last time your brake fluid was changed?

If your answer is B or C, it could be time to have it checked.

Brake fluid naturally absorbs moisture over time, reducing its effectiveness and potentially increasing stopping distances. Most manufacturers recommend replacing it every 2 years, even if your vehicle seems to be braking normally.

A simple brake fluid change helps keep your braking system performing as it should and protects important components from internal corrosion.

Not sure when yours was last replaced? We can check it for you.

Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road. Keeping them in good condition is one of the simplest ways to stay safe.

Worn tyres can:
βœ” Reduce grip, especially in wet weather
βœ” Increase braking distances
βœ” Make your vehicle harder to control
βœ” Increase the risk of aquaplaning

A quick tyre inspection can identify uneven wear, damage and whether your tread is still safe.

If you're unsure about the condition of your tyres, pop in and we'll be happy to take a look.

Driving in this heat without working air conditioning isn't much fun.

If your air con isn't blowing as cold as it should, don't just put up with it. It could simply need servicing or a re-gas, and leaving it too long can lead to more expensive repairs.

Signs your air con needs attention:
βœ” Not blowing cold air
βœ” Weak airflow
βœ” Unpleasant smells from the vents
βœ” Windows taking longer to demist

Stay cool and comfortable on every journey this summer.

πŸ“ž Call York Tyre Sales on 01904 488243 to book your air conditioning check

Heading off on a long journey this summer? Take five minutes to check these first.

A quick look under the bonnet could save you hours waiting at the side of the road.

Here's what to check:
➑️ Engine oil - Make sure it's between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick.
➑️ Coolant - Check the level when the engine is cold. Never remove the cap from a hot engine.
➑️ Windscreen washer fluid - It's amazing how quickly you can empty the bottle on a motorway. Top it up before you leave.
➑️ Brake fluid - The level should sit between the MIN and MAX marks. If it's dropped significantly, have it investigated rather than simply topping it up.
➑️ Power steering fluid (where fitted) - Some newer cars use electric power steering, but if yours has a fluid reservoir, check it's at the correct level.

A few minutes before you set off can help prevent unnecessary stress and keep your journey running smoothly.

What checks do you always do before a long drive? Let us know in the comments. πŸ‘‡
