DID YOU KNOW?

On average 163 people are killed or seriously injured in incidents related to defective tyres every year (average 2021 - 2025).

Behind that number are real people and a powerful reminder of why tyre safety should never be an afterthought.

Illegal or poorly maintained tyres can have serious consequences. Make regular checks part of your routine and know the condition of the tyres connecting your vehicle to the road.

Check Air pressure, Condition and Tread.

You can see the price. You can see the tread. But can you see the tyre's past?

That's the problem with part-worn tyres.

Damage caused by impacts, under-inflation or previous repairs may not always be visible externally, but can significantly weaken structural integrity. Even where tread depth appears acceptable, hidden defects can lead to sudden failure.

A part-worn tyre comes with an uncertain history, so appearance alone can't tell you everything you need to know.

Buy from reputable sources and ensure tyres are correctly marked, compliant and suitable for your vehicle. Where possible, new tyres remain the safest option.

Don't let an unknown past become part of your next journey.

New tyre safety resources for taxi and private hire drivers.

Recent enforcement cases have highlighted a concerning road safety issue, with licensed vehicles found operating with illegal and dangerously worn tyres – including tyres with exposed reinforcing cords and tyres worn almost completely smooth.

TyreSafe has launched a new suite of free taxi and private hire vehicle tyre safety resources to help professional drivers, operators, fleet managers and licensing authorities reduce risk and keep vehicles safe and legal.

The resources cover:

• Air Pressure, Condition and Tread (ACT) checks
• Daily tyre inspections
• Legal tread depth requirements
• Cuts, bulges, exposed cords and other damage
• Correct tyre pressures
• When to replace a tyre
• Safe purchasing advice, including part-worn tyres

Taxi and private hire vehicles can cover many thousands of miles each year, making regular tyre inspections particularly important.

TyreSafe is also partnering with Liverpool City Council Licensing to put practical tyre safety guidance directly into the hands of licensed drivers through printed easy reference guides and educational posters.

If you're a taxi or private hire driver, operator, licensing authority or fleet manager, download the free resources and help make every journey safer.

New licence. New freedom. New responsibility for the four tyres connecting you to the road.

Your first time driving alone is the perfect time to start a habit that should stay with you throughout your driving life: checking your tyres.

Get to know the correct tyre pressures for your car, regularly look for damage or unusual wear and make sure you have sufficient tread.

Before setting off, check the rest of your car too, including your lights, windows, mirrors, fuel and warning lights.

A driving licence gives you independence. Looking after the car you're driving is part of it.

New driver? Your car maintenance journey should start where your car meets the road: your tyres.

Checking your tyre pressure, condition and tread is one of the most important habits you can build. Poorly maintained tyres can affect handling, reduce grip and increase stopping distances.
But looking after your car doesn’t stop at the tyres.

Good car maintenance for new drivers also means getting familiar with your engine oil, essential fluids, battery, wipers, lights and windscreen, as well as keeping on top of servicing and MOT checks.

You don’t need to become a mechanic. You just need to know what to check.
Our Car Maintenance Checklist for New Drivers takes you through the basics:

The right connection can start a conversation. The critical ones can change what happens on our roads.

That’s why Critical Connections will be at the heart of the TyreSafe Briefing and Awards 2027, taking place at The Belfry Hotel & Resort on 15 June.

Tyre safety touches far more than the tyre industry alone. It connects government with enforcement, manufacturers with retailers, road safety professionals with fleets, and expertise with the people who can turn it into action.

The Briefing and Awards brings those worlds together in one room, creating the connections that strengthen partnerships, challenge thinking and help move tyre and road safety forward.

Bookings are already open, alongside sponsorship opportunities for organisations that want to play an active part in that conversation and connect with senior decision-makers from across the sector.

Some connections are useful. Some are critical. Make yours at TyreSafe 2027.

Passing your driving test is a huge milestone. It brings freedom, independence and the excitement of getting behind the wheel whenever you want. But for new drivers, that freedom can disappear just as quickly. Just two illegal tyres in their first 2 years could result in six penalty points and automatic licence revocation. Before every journey, take a few minutes to check your tyres. It's one of the simplest ways to protect your licence and your independence.

How many miles did your tyres cover this summer?

You probably remember the destination. But what about every motorway mile, day trip, airport run, weekend away and everyday journey that got you there?
Your tyres did every single one of them.

Before summer disappears into the rear-view mirror, give the four tyres that kept you moving some attention. Check their air pressure, look at their condition and make sure they have sufficient tread.

Your mileage doesn’t reset when summer ends. Neither does the job your tyres have to do.

🚗 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.
