Before any long journey, it is worth spending a few minutes checking your tyres. Tyre problems are easier to deal with before you leave than on the side of the road.
Check Tyre Pressure
Incorrect tyre pressure can affect fuel economy, braking distance, and tyre wear. Check pressure when tyres are cold and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended values.
Inspect Tread Depth
Good tread helps your tyres grip the road, especially in rain. If the tread is low or uneven, get the tyres inspected before travelling.
Look for Damage
Check for nails, cuts, bulges, cracks, or objects stuck in the tyre. Even small damage can become worse during a long drive.
Do Not Forget the Spare
If your vehicle has a spare wheel, check that it is inflated and usable. Many drivers only discover a problem with the spare when they already need it.
If you find a problem before your journey, Motty Mobile Tyres can help with tyre replacement or puncture support without requiring a garage visit.
