Drivers urged to check their tyres this spring
Campers, caravanners and motorhomers are being reminded to carry out thorough checks on the tyres of any vehicles they have had in storage over winter before using them this spring by leading British charity TyreSafe.
• Carry out visual checks for damage, lumps, bumps or cuts in the tyre
• Keep an eye out for cracks in the tyre sidewalls
• Make sure the tyres are correctly inflated – they can deflate with long periods of no use
• Use a 20p coin to check the tread depth is above the legal limit. Place it into the tread grooves and if you can see the outer band of the coin, you need to have the tread depth checked
• Head online to Tyre Safe website for more information on tyre safety. Plus download a copy of the Club's Data Sheet on Tyres and tyre safety for more useful information.
