It's National Tyre Safety Month 2015!
So we've had a summer (of sorts) and we've enjoyed a fair spell of warm weather during the latter part of September. However.....the weeks are rolling on and October is already upon us : (
Alongside the browning and falling of the leaves and the occasional frosty start, October sees a month of raising awareness of tyre safety, spearheaded by national tyre awareness organisation TyreSafe - and a month which Hometyre fully supports and engages in too!
Why October, you may ask? Well, we can all get a little complacent with our tyres throughout the summer. Drier spells (yes,there were a few!), warmer temperatures and cleaner cars often mean that tyre maintenance doesn't really get a look in - unless via a service or MoT.
Winter months are far more demanding on your tyres. Cold temperatures, prolonged wet periods, ice and sometimes snow are all commonplace for 5 or 6 months of our year here in the UK.
Low tread is just one of many potentially hazardous errors that occur with your tyres. Low pressure caused by punctures or a poor seal to the wheels effect handling and braking - not to mention fuel economy. Splits and cuts expose vital parts of the tyre to foreign objects that could lead to dangerous blow outs at worst and a flat tyre during freezing dark mornings at best.
When you hurl around in a 1 to 2 tonne machine at speed and in low grip conditions it really is often a matter of life hanging in the balance as far as your tyres are concerned. Perhaps we should consider not when poor tyres have ended life but instead consider how many times they SAVE your life!! That way
you may want to ensure that they are suitably prepared for some harder work in the coming months and are ready to CONTINUE saving your life every time you use them!
To support National Tyre Safety Month - and of course to promote our services to new potential clients, we're offering free, no obligation tyre safety checks* at business parks, offices, schools etc where we have unrestricted access to car parks and a means to contact vehicle owners with important information.
Interested? We hope you will be. Afterall, it's free and we could highlight an issue that you may be completely unaware of.
At the very least, you'll get your pressures checked and a clean bill of health.
Call today for availability in your area.
