    Checking your tyres

    To keep your vehicle safe and performing at its optimum level, it’s important that you check your tyres regularly. Not only will this reduce your running costs, but it will also ensure that your vehicle brakes and accelerates properly and can take corners with ease.

    Check the following on a regular basis to keep your tyres safe and sturdy:

    • Tyre pressure
    • Tread depth – ensure it’s not below the minimum of 1.6mm
    • Look out for any bulges, abrasions, uneven wear or objects stuck in the tread

    Tyre Pressure

    To keep yourself and your drivers safe you should check your tyres regularly to ensure they’re properly inflated. It’s the pressurised air inside the tyre that helps to support the weight of your vehicle and its load.

    Driving with tyres at the correct pressure allows your van to grip the road when it brakes and takes corners; poor pressure can lead to blowouts, poor braking and poor handling. It also saves you money as tyres at the correct pressure cost less for your engine to move, and have a longer lifespan.
