With just two wheels, the amount of contact motorbikes have with the road for safe handling and braking is the least of any vehicle, making it critical that tyres are in good. condition and properly inflated for rider safety. #Motorbike #Twowheeler #CheckTyres

Many drivers buying part worn tyres do so in the belief that they offer better value for money compared with new tyres. However, this isn’t necessarily so, and buyers should consider the cost per mm of useable tyre, rather than just the initial purchase price.

Make sure your vehicle isn’t one of the 1 in 4 that could have illegal tyres this year, by making sure you’re checking your air pressure, tread depth and tyre condition at least once a month. #CheckTyres

If the TPMS warning light on your dashboard illuminates, this should not be ignored as there may be a problem with the pressure levels in one or more of your tyres. #TPMS

Correct tyre pressures play a critical role in maximising fuel efficiency, and with fuel prices remaining high, it’s never been more important to ensure that your fleet’s tyres are set to the correct level.

Make sure you keep sending us your images of worn tyres that are clearly past their best, to be featured on our ‘Worn Tyre of The Week’ gallery and help raise awareness of the importance of tyre safety. #WornTyres

Did you realise that there are over 2,200,000 MOT failures due to tyre defects every year? #CheckTyres #Don’tBeAStatistic

Many drivers may think that they’re saving money purchasing part-worns, but in some cases, part-worns are being sold with cracks, bulges, reduced tread depth and even foreign objects in the wall that could lead to catastrophic consequences when driven on. #PartWorn

You’ve craved a trip to the local community centre to catch up with old friends, but don’t let your plans unravel, by making sure you check your tread depth, tyre pressure and condition in advance of setting off. #ReadyForTheRoad

A tread depth survey of over 800 tyre outlets conducted by TyreSafe, found that a shocking 70.4% of tyres inspected had a tread depth of 2mm or below – nearly 24 million tyres.

This week’s worn of the tyre of the week goes to this shocking example sent in by @nationaltyres, which only highlights how important it is to keep raising awareness of the importance of tyre maintenance. #WornTyres

It is of paramount importance that tyres are always maintained in good condition and when the time comes to change them correct replacements are fitted. There are several simple and basic checks that can be performed at home to check air pressure, condition, and tread #ACT.

Your tyres are in constant contact with the road and as such they suffer a lot of wear and tear, even if you drive carefully. Therefore, it’s vital that you keep an eye on the condition of your tyres #CheckTyres #TyreCondition.

When inflating your tyres it is important to make sure that you are using the settings recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer, as over-inflation results in a less comfortable ride, a reduced area of contact with the road and accelerated wear on the tread centre.

Make sure you check out our great range of instructional videos on the TyreSafe website, offering drivers a detailed step by guide of how to successfully carry out those all-important tyre safety checks – Tread Depth, Air Pressure and Tyre Condition. bit.ly/300N1Uy
