Why are tyre checks so important in winter?

1. Tread Depth: Good tread depth is vital for maintaining traction on wet roads. With the average UK autumn seeing over 12 rainy days per month, ensuring your tyres have at least 1.6mm of tread can be a lifesaver.
2. Tyre Pressure: Properly inflated tyres grip the road better, reducing your stopping distance on slick autumn roads. Underinflation can lead to tyre failure, especially when carrying heavy loads or driving at high speeds.
3. Tyre Condition: Cracks, bulges, and uneven wear can all lead to dangerous blowouts. Autumn's changing temperatures and wet conditions put extra stress on your tyres, making inspections even more critical.

The dangers of neglecting your tyres

• A car with tyres worn to 1.6mm can take an extra 12 metres to stop on wet roads compared to one with 3mm of tread.
• Underinflated tyres increase stopping distance and are three times more likely to be involved in a tyre failure.
• A tyre blowout at high speed can cause you to lose control of your vehicle, leading to serious accidents.
