Would you buy part-worn brakes? So why take the risk with part-worn tyres?
TyreSafe is reminding drivers to remain vigilant when choosing replacement tyres following enforcement activity that uncovered serious safety and compliance concerns.
In Norfolk, 36% of 191 part-worn tyres inspected were found to be in a dangerous condition, while in Lancashire, none of the 30 tyres inspected met the legal requirements.
Part-worn tyres can have an unknown history, with damage from impacts, under-inflation or previous repairs not always visible from the outside.
Always buy from a reputable retailer, make sure your tyres are suitable and compliant, and regularly check Air pressure, Condition and Tread using the ACT method.
