Tyre blowouts are far more common during the summer months and heat is often the reason why.
As temperatures rise, so does the temperature inside your tyres. Add motorway speeds, under-inflation, damage or worn tread into the mix and the risk of a blowout increases significantly.
Before setting off on a long journey, make sure you:
✅ Check your tyre pressures
✅ Inspect tyres for cuts, cracks or bulges
✅ Ensure you have plenty of tread remaining
✅ Have any tyre concerns checked by a professional
A quick tyre inspection could help prevent a dangerous roadside breakdown and keep your family safe on the road this summer.
