Done in 60 Seconds – are your tyres ready?

Drivers are being reminded that a simple 60-second check of their vehicle’s tyres can reduce the risk of an incident on the roads.

To help educate drivers, TyreSafe has created animations around well-known film titles as part of its Tyre Safety Month 2020 campaign, including the cult classic ‘Done in 60 Seconds’. The short film illustrates how to look for any changes to the surface of the tyre, including cracking or embedded objects. Lumps and bumps could indicate internal damage and if they are found, motorists are advised to seek urgent professional advice.

Stuart Jackson, chair of TyreSafe said: “Many drivers take the condition of their tyres for granted and don’t appreciate tyres are working for you every second you’re out on the roads. Taking a minute to check them before you leave, and ensuring your tyres are properly monitored and maintained, could save lives – a monthly check is all it takes.

“If you are heading out on the road, follow the TyreSafe advice and make sure your tyres are ready for action.”
