Think. Check Your Tyre Condition

What happens if you don't

• Worn tyres cause reduced performance.  It takes longer  to brake on a wet road surface when tyres are worn, and there is more risk of skidding.
• Under inflated tyres reduce your control of the vehicle, increase braking distances and wear out your tyres more rapidly.
• Over-inflated tyres reduce grip, reduce stability in braking and lead to poor handling.

What you should do...

• You should inspect your tyres at least once a month. The correct pressure information can usually be found on the edge of the driver’s side door.
• Check your tyres for signs of damage or cracks. Even a small tear should be checked by a tyre technician.
• All tyres have tread wear indicators. These indicators appear in the main grooves when the tread has worn down to 1.6mm, showing the tyre needs to be replaced.
