Start with the essentials

LEARN SOMETHING USEFUL BEFORE YOU DRIVE

A few simple checks can help with both planned tyre care and an unexpected problem.

Check tyre markings

Your tyre sidewall contains the size and ratings needed to discuss an appropriate replacement.

Watch for warning signs

Bulges, cuts, exposed cords and pressure loss deserve prompt professional attention.

Choose safety first

Do not stop to inspect a tyre in an unsafe position. Roadside safety takes priority over collecting details for a quote.
