The safety of your vehicle depends on it. Your car\u2019s brakes, along with the tyres, are two of the most crucial components of your vehicle. Ensuring you are driving a safe vehicle is important not only for your own safety but for other people on the road as well. Having a tyre safety checklist is an important part of making sure you are driving a safe vehicle.<\/p>\n<h2>Tyre safety and maintenance checklist<\/h2>\n<p>Regularly check your tyre safety and maintenance checklist for some of the common issues your tyres can have. Tyres take more abuse than almost any other component of your automobile. They have direct contact with the road and all its elements that may cause them to wear, lose pressure, or puncture. Your tyres may be easily inspected for wear and damage. How well you maintain your tyres will impact your safety, vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, and repair costs.<\/p>\n<h2>Tread Depth<\/h2>\n<p>Having a sufficient tread depth is vital to ensure that your car can grip the road properly. Your tyres should have a minimum safe tread depth of 2\/32 of an inch, or roughly enough tread to completely cover Lincoln\u2019s head on a penny when held upside down between the ribs of your tyre. Tread depth is important to ensure safety when accelerating or braking, especially in slippery or wet conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"--awb-max-width:1200px;--awb-max-height:675px;--awb-align-self:center;--awb-width:100%;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\" ><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LoFhI5wZRyY?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0&oida=1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:30px;\"><h2>Tyre Air Pressure<\/h2>\n<p>All your tyres should have the correct air pressure. Under- or over-inflated tyres can cause erratic vehicle behaviour and affect handling and grip, which can be dangerous while driving. Proper pressure in your tyres will ensure you have a smooth ride, improve traction, better handling, and optimum fuel economy.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-builder-row-inner fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"width:calc( 100% + 30px ) !important;max-width:calc( 100% + 30px ) !important;margin-left: calc(-30px \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-30px \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-0 fusion_builder_column_inner_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:30px;--awb-padding-right:30px;--awb-padding-bottom:00px;--awb-padding-left:30px;--awb-bg-color:#e2e2e2;--awb-bg-color-hover:#e2e2e2;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:15px;--awb-margin-bottom-large:00px;--awb-spacing-left-large:15px;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:15px;--awb-spacing-left-medium:15px;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:15px;--awb-spacing-left-small:15px;\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><i class=\"fb-icon-element-1 fb-icon-element fontawesome-icon fa-quote-left far circle-no fusion-text-flow\" style=\"--awb-iconcolor:var(--awb-color4);--awb-iconcolor-hover:var(--awb-color4);--awb-font-size:32px;--awb-margin-right:16px;\"><\/i><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h4>\u201cI\u2019ve had great experiences with the whole crew here; they\u2019re kind, knowledgeable and efficient.

Inspect your tyres regularly. Look out for irregular wear and damages, including cuts, bulges, cracks, or items stuck in them like nails, glass, or small rocks. If you find any problems, be sure to get the tyres replaced or repaired.<\/p>\n<p>Following the suggested maintenance provided by your vehicle manufacturer will help to keep your tyres effective for longer.<\/p>\n<p>Use our recommended checklist and perform a visual tyre safety check at least every week.<\/p>\n<p>If you find that you need new tyres or your tyres need service, contact us today!<\/p>\n<h2>When do you need repair?<\/h2>\n<p>The mechanical parts of the alternator are sealed, but the sitting water can damage it as the lubricator wears away. Repeated exposure to water can cause damage to the brushes by the electrical arc and wear out. Early detection is always better. Check your dashboard signals while you drive, if the ignition is on, it will show a battery light on your car dashboard. This means you need to look at it quickly. Likewise, inoperative plates in the car can be the reason for battery failure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":737,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,15,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cars","category-maintenance","category-uto-service"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test-websites.co.uk\/212auto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test-websites.co.uk\/212auto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test-websites.co.uk\/212auto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test-websites.co.uk\/212auto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test-websites.co.uk\/212auto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=726"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/test-websites.co.uk\/212auto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1689,"href":"https:\/\/test-websites.co.uk\/212auto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726\/revisions\/1689"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test-websites.co.uk\/212auto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test-websites.co.uk\/212auto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test-websites.co.uk\/212auto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test-websites.co.uk\/212auto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
