Tyre types – Choosing the right tyres for your vehicle

Image
All tyres are created equal, right? Wrong. The kinds of tyres you fit with your vehicle with are extremely important, so it’s handy to have a bit of tyre know-how when you’re shopping for new tyres. Here are some things to keep in mind. What tyres does your vehicle need? Look at the manufacturer requirements This should fairly clearly outline the right specifications for tyres that you fit your car with, including what size and maximum carrying capacity the tyres should have to be able to support your vehicle. Your vehicle should have a Tyre Placard which will detail the minimum standards required.

New Tyres: The Benefits of Buying Premium

Image
While it can be tempting to go for the cheaper option, especially as tyres aren’t the most exciting of purchases, this can be a false economy. Buying Premium tyres have a number of benefits over their mid-range and budget counterparts that can make them a worthwhile investment. As well as improved performance and superior safety, premium tyres will generally last longer and can help to reduce your fuel bills too. Here are our top reasons to buy premium 1) Spend less on fuel The EU tyre label rates tyres on their rolling resistance (from A to G), and premium tyres tend to have a much better rating than budget and mid-range tyres. In plain English, rolling resistance is the friction your tyres create as they move along the road’s surface. And the more energy it takes to turn the tyre, the more fuel you’ll burn – contributing to around 20% of overall fuel use. The lower weight and more aerodynamic design of many premium tyres makes them more efficient. Meanwhile, special...

Why Sustainable Tyres are the Next trend of the Future ?

Image
The debate about the best way to go green continues across Australia and around the globe, but it’s a safe bet that prioritising sustainability is a good move for the car industry. This ensures needless waste is avoided, and offers opportunity to pursue new innovation and technologies. With recent statistics showing Australia now recycles approximately 58% of its waste, we will continue to see sustainability having a greater presence in the car world, as the industry seeks to make the old new again. This is already a prominent story when it comes to electric cars, with the successful rollout of the Toyota Prius, and more recently, the Tesla models. With attention to buy sustainable tyres now growing, let’s look further at this trend in wheels and rubber. Why do we need sustainable tyres? The question of why there is a need for sustainable tyres is an expected one. Sure, the demand is there, but what about the old adage “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? The fact is that advan...

Tread Carefully – worn tyres could put you in danger

Image
Worn tyres can be deadly: according to industry body TyreSafe , nearly a thousand car accidents a year in the UK are caused by illegal, defective or under-inflated tyres. And while, by law, the minimum tread depth is 1.6mm, it’s all too common to see tyres well below this level – despite the risk to the driver and other road users. When we go to fit new tyres, we measure the tread on all of the tyres on our customers’ vehicles, which gives us plenty of information on the state of the nation’s wheels. Using data from over 213,000 tyre measurements by TyresOnTheDrive professionals, we decided to find out where the country’s worst culprits for illegal tyres can be found. This heatmap shows the postcodes with the greatest concentrations of tyres below 1.6mm in red. Newport, Swansea and Hereford were the biggest offenders, with 19.8%, 19.7% and 17.8%, respectively, of the tyres examined by our staff falling below the legal minimum. In fact, Wales and the West of England seem...

How much do young drivers know about tyre safety?

Image
It’s a great feeling when you pass your driving test. At last, you can drive alone and be independent, a whole new world opens up before you. However, there is much truth in the adage that you really learn to drive after you’ve passed your test. Driving on motorways, filling up with fuel, managing multi-storey car parks are just a few things that you don’t necessarily learn on your driving lessons. When it comes to tyre safety , there are a couple of “tell me how” questions in the vehicle maintenance section of the practical driving test, yet a survey of 1,000 young drivers carried out by TyreSafe and ingenie – specialist insurers of young and new drivers – highlighted a concerning lack of knowledge in this area. One third of young drivers had never checked their tyre tread depth, one quarter had never checked their tyre pressures and almost one half revealed that they had never been shown how to check their tyres’ condition. Tyres are the only part of the car t...
