Throughout the month we’re supporting the fantastic work of TyreSafe encouraging everyone to ACT before they reACT.
🟢 C = Condition
Your tyres work hard every time you drive, but how often do you actually take a closer look at them?
It’s not just tread depth that matters (we’ll look at that tomorrow) The overall condition of your tyres is equally important. Damage can easily occur through everyday driving and it may not always be obvious until you look for it.
When checking your tyres, look for:
🔍 Cuts in the tyre sidewall or tread
🔍 Lumps or bulges
🔍 Cracks or tears in the rubber
🔍 Objects embedded in the tyre, such as nails or screws
🔍 Signs of uneven wear
A lump or bulge could indicate internal damage to the tyre structure and should be checked immediately. Continuing to drive on a damaged tyre increases the risk of a puncture or tyre failure, particularly at higher speeds.
The good news is that a tyre condition check only takes just a few minutes and can easily be carried out as part of your regular vehicle checks.
Remember, your tyres are the only part of your vehicle in contact with the road. Keeping them in good condition helps keep you, your passengers and other road users safe.
🛞 ACT before you reACT
🔵 A – Air Pressure
🟢 C – Condition
🟠 T – Tread Depth
Take a few minutes today to walk around your vehicle and check your tyres. What you spot now could prevent a problem later.
