Think of tyre labels as a sort of grading system; tyres are ranked in terms of fuel consumption, wet grip and noise classification. Tyres with the highest rating are measured ‘A’, down to the lowest rating of ‘G’. All of our tyres have labels attached so you can be clear on what you are purchasing for your vehicle.
Our reputation means a lot to us, so the service we supply to our clients is of utmost importance. But don’t just take our word for it, check out our reviews on Google.
Tyres that are over-inflated can be dangerous as the greater the inflation, the more difficult it is for the tyre to maintain contact with the road and allow the tread to establish grip. In addition, the more pressure you put into the tyre, the more stress you put the structure of the tyre under, shortening the tyres lifespan.
Recent research has suggested that as many as 60% of domestic vehicles on the roads in Europe have lower tyre pressures than recommended. Under-inflation could lead to any or all of the following:
Cracks and bulges can be caused by hitting a pothole or kerb. This can cause cracks in the sidewall of the tyre. Over or under-inflation of tyres can make this problem more likely to occur and can only be fixed by replacing the tyres altogether.
If you are regularly driving at speed, for example motorway driving, your tyres are at a higher risk of damage. Contact with road hazards such as potholes at high speeds can cause a higher degree of damage whilst the overheating due to driving at higher speeds can cause tyre damage and a loss of control when driving.
Tyres can become more worn on one side – known as camber wear – due to misalignment. Misalignment can be caused by hitting a kerb or general wear and tear as well as adjusting the height of the vehicle. A misaligned tyre should be refitted or replaced as it can reduce the tyre’s traction and grip on the roads.
Puncture damage is rarely the fault of the driver but the result of broken glass on the road, for example. Ensuring that your tyres are properly inflated can increase your defense against punctures.
Emergency braking can lead to instant tyre wear in a very specific area. Ultimately, this can lead to deflation and obscure vehicle handling if left too long. If you have to carry out an emergency stop, check your tyres for any localised wear!
General wear and tear cannot be avoided but it is important to monitor your tyre’s tread depth in order to ensure it is within the legal limit. If the tread depth is below 1.6mm, you cannot legally drive on the roads and must replace your tyres. However, this level is the absolute minimum and we recommend replacing your tyres before they reach this level to increase performance and safety.
