Tyre Safety

At the Club we recommend members regularly check their tyre pressures as under-inflated tyres affect handling and grip, potentially causing irregular or unpredictable vehicle behaviour. The Tyre Safety Org  advises that:

• 3% more fuel is used when pressure is 6 psi below recommended inflation
• For every 10% a tyre is under-inflated. Its wear can increase by 10%
• £600 million is wasted yearly on fuel costs by British motorists driving with under-inflated tyres
• 56.8% of car tyres in the UK are at least 4 psi below recommended pressures

As it’s Tyre Safety Month,  why don’t you test your knowledge by taking the Tyre safe test?
