Would you know if your tyres were underinflated just by looking at them?

It isn’t always obvious. Check pressures regularly when tyres are cold, using an accurate gauge and the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended settings.

Correct pressures help your tyres perform as intended and can help avoid unnecessary fuel use. Don’t rely on appearances. Check your tyres today.

Most of us feel confident behind the wheel, but confidence should never replace preparation.

42% of UK drivers believe they are better than average at handling emergencies, but only 1 in four have checked their tyres in the past month. 🛞👀

Your tyres play a critical role in your vehicle’s braking, grip and control.

Carrying out a simple ACT check regularly is one of the simplest ways to make sure your confidence is backed up by tyres that are ready for the road ahead. 🛣️

Think:
💨 Air pressure
✨ Condition
🛞 Tread

🚗🏍️ Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road.

They provide the grip needed for steering, braking and staying in control. Worn or poorly maintained tyres can increase stopping distances and make driving or riding more dangerous, especially in wet weather.

✅ Check pressures ✅ Check tread depth ✅ Check for damage

A few minutes checking your tyres could make all the difference.

You’ve looked at your tyres. But have you really checked them?

It’s easy to glance at the visible face of a tyre and assume everything looks fine. But that’s only part of the picture.

Damage and irregular wear aren’t necessarily going to appear where they’re easiest to spot, which is why a proper visual inspection means looking carefully around as much of each tyre as you can safely see.

Look for cuts, cracking, bulges, embedded objects and unusual wear rather than relying on a passing glance.

And if you can’t inspect something properly or you’re unsure about what you’re seeing, ask a tyre professional.

Looking at your tyre isn’t always the same as checking it.

New driver? Your tyres are your responsibility – even if the car isn’t yours.

Before you drive, remember ACT:

A – Air pressure
C – Condition
T – Tread

Simple checks can help keep you safe and legal on the road.

The most dangerous thing about a tyre might not be the thing you can see. With part-worn tyres, the full history of the product is often unknown. 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. That’s what makes illegally sold and unverified part-worn tyres such a concern. A tyre can look acceptable on the surface and still carry an unknown history underneath it.

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.
