Practical Tips for Tyre Maintenance
Sunset Tyres encourages all drivers to adopt basic tyre maintenance practices. Here are some practical tips to help ensure your tyres remain in optimal shape:
Check Tyre Pressure Regularly: Ensure that tyre pressure is maintained at the recommended level. Driving on under-inflated tyres can increase wear and handling difficulty, while over-inflated tyres heighten the risk of blowouts. Checking tyre pressure monthly is advisable.
Monitor Tread Depth: Tread depth significantly affects traction, especially in wet conditions. Use the "20p test": insert a 20p into the tread and the 1.6mm is the band around the coin. 20p Test
Perform Visual Inspections: Regularly inspect your tyres for damage, such as cuts, cracks, or debris in the tread. Any damage should be assessed by a professional.
By implementing these simple practices, drivers can contribute to safer roads and lower their risk of being involved in tyre-related incidents.
