New research shows increase in part worn tyre use.

Recent research carried out by TyreSafe revealed that the number of motorists likely to purchase part worn tyres has increased over the past 12 months. While a likely result of the economic crisis, motorists are placing themselves in increasing risk, not to mention financial loss while opting for these items. The history of a used tyre is totally unknown and could have serious structural defects. Tyres also have a shelf life and should be replaced within five years of manufacture for many applications. Part worn tyres are often sold at much older ages.
