Tyre Tread - 'How deep is your tread?'

Taking inspiration from the classic 1977 Bee Gee hit, 'How deep is your love', comes the TyreSafe 2018 release, 'How deep is your tread'! Tyre tread is critical for braking, cornering, steering and accelerating. The legal limit is 1.6mm across the three central quarters of the tread and around the whole circumference of the tyre.

Want to know a quick and easy way to check your tyre tread depth? Take the 20p test, it's simple and effective.

Pressure - 'Under Pressure'

The 1981 Queen smash hit, Under Pressure, is here to remind you to ensure your tyre pressure is correct.

Correct tyre pressure means:

• Lower risk of rapid deflation

• Optimum braking and handling

• Tyres last longer, saving you money

• Better fuel economy

Not sure what the correct tyre pressure for your vehicle is?  Find this information in your owner's manual, the fuel cap, or the door shut. Air can be found at most petrol stations, ensure your tyres are correctly inflated.

Condition - 'Every check you take'

Continuing the 80's theme, next comes the renamed 1983 The Police classic 'Every breath you take', cleverly reworked to 'Every check you take' to underline the importance of regular tyre checks. You can check your own tyres for bulges, cuts or lumps and inspect the tread removing any stones or debris from it. You should carry out these checks once a month and before any long journey.
