It's a fact, accidents during the winter months occur more often that at any other time of the year. This is mainly down to increased braking distances, due to the use of summer tyres and winter driving conditions; reduced temperatures and snow/ice on the roads.
At Protyre, our prime concern is the safety of our customers and we want you to stay safe on the roads. Take note of the following advice to maximise the safety of your tyres this winter...
Check your tread depth
A tread depth of 4mm for winter tyres is advised as opposed to 3mm for summer tyres. This will help with braking distances when the roads become icy.
Check your tyre pressure
Under or over inflated tyres can have a serious effect on the performance of your vehicle.
Check your wheel alignment
Misalignment will effect the handling of the car and its overall safety on the roads. This is of the utmost importance at this time of the year.
Check your tyres
Closely inspect your tyres for any cracks or punctures.
If any of these are affecting your tyres or if you're not sure, please don't delay and let Protyre take care of your vehicle's safety. As part of our
FREE 5 Point Winter Check, we will inspect your tyres and vehicle to ensure it will be safe on the roads this winter.
