“Check Your Tyres”

Published: 10 October 2025

This month is national Tyre Safety month and we’re urging the public to “Check your tyres”.

The awareness raising month is organised by TyreSafe, who are encouraging drivers to check the air pressure, condition and tread depth on their tyres at least once a month and prior to long journeys.

Regular tyre safety checks can reduce the risk of an incident on our roads so it’s important that drivers regularly take a few minutes to check their tyres to ensure their and their passengers’ safety.

Tyres that are bald or underinflated cause the vehicle to cost more to run, but more importantly, could potentially contribute to a breakdown, or worse, a collision. A bald patch could cause the tyre to burst open, making it difficult to control the car and bring it to a safe stop.
