When did you last check the age of your Horsebox/Trailer tyres ? TyreSafe

Your trailer or horsebox tyres might still have good tread, but that doesn’t mean they’re in good condition. Tyres naturally degrade over time, especially when left unused for long periods. This can reduce grip and reliability just when you need them most. Before your next journey, take a few minutes to check not just the tread and pressure, but also the age.

Head to the TyreSafe website to download the Ultimate Guide to Trailer and
Horsebox Tyres and learn how tyre age can affect your safety on the road. https://www.tyresafe.org/resources/

Part safe tyres. Are they really worth the risk 🤔

Think part-worn tyres are safe? Think again. Hidden dangers like sidewall damage, old punctures, and worn tread are common. These risks aren’t worth the savings. Always prioritise safety by choosing new tyres.
