Worn tyres cause reduced performance. It takes longer to brake on a wet road surface when tyres are worn, and there is more risk of skidding. |
|
Under inflated tyres reduce your control of the vehicle, increase braking distances and wear out your tyres more rapidly. |
|
Over-inflated tyres reduce grip, reduce stability in braking and lead to poor handling. |

You should inspect your tyres at least once a month. The correct pressure information can usually be found on the edge of the driver’s side door. |
|
Check your tyres for signs of damage or cracks. Even a small tear should be checked by a tyre technician. |
|
All tyres have tread wear indicators. These indicators appear in the main grooves when the tread has worn down to 1.6mm, showing the tyre needs to be replaced. |
