TyreSafe urges motorists to check their tyres

TyreSafe, the UK’s leading tyre safety organisation, is urging motorists to check their tyres before they set off on their travels.

Despite the recent poor weather, many families are likely to be staying on these shores for their annual break.

However, TyreSafe is advising car owners who remain at home rather than flying abroad for their holidays, not to let their guard down when it comes to safe motoring.

Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe, said: “A lot of people make a checklist before they go on holiday, such as to remind themselves to pack a toothbrush, sun cream and other everyday essentials. However, we’d suggest that they put tyre checks at the top of the list so they can enjoy their holiday and arrive safely at their destination, whether it’s just for a day trip or further afield for a longer stay.”
