Tyre maintenance is an extremely important aspect of owning a car. Tyres are the only link between your vehicle and the road surface which is why it\u2019s so important to ensure that they are safe. Below, we\u2019ve shared our top 5 tips for maintaining your tyres to a good condition. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Use the Correct Tyres<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019re kicking off our tyre maintenance tips with one that may seem really obvious. However, you\u2019d be surprised how many people don\u2019t use the correct tyres on their car; usually as they\u2019re trying to save a bit of money. It\u2019s really important to use the correct tyres on your car as it increases your safety and can also improve fuel economy. Don\u2019t scrimp on the correct tyres; think of tyres as an investment and if you maintain them well, you\u2019ll be getting the value out of them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Check Tyre Pressure<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Checking tyre pressure is always one of our top tyre maintenance tips. You should check the pressure of your tyres at least every month and always before going on a long journey. The correct pressure reduces the risk of losing control of your car and can also save fuel. You\u2019ll be able to find the correct tyre pressure for your vehicle in the manufacturer\u2019s handbook. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Check Tread Depth<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s illegal to drive your vehicle if the tyre tread depth is below the legal minimum. The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central \u00be of the tread width and round its entire circumference. If your tyres are getting towards the legal minimum or you have any doubts and don\u2019t know how to check, take your car to a specialist.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Wheel Alignment<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wheel alignment is when your wheels and axles are properly aligned; it\u2019s difficult to know if they are whilst you are driving. If you happen to come into contact with a kerb or pothole or notice any uneven wear on your tyres, it\u2019s best to have them checked out by a specialist. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Replace or Repair<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our final tyre maintenance tip is about replacements and repairs. It\u2019s inevitable that your tyres are going to need to be replaced at some point; the frequency of needing to do this will depend on your driving habits and road conditions. Your wheel valves and valve caps will also deteriorate over time which can allow air loss; it\u2019s important to have these checked for repairs or replacements. If you think your tyres need repairing or replacing, take your vehicle to a specialist. <\/p>\n
