You know when your MOT is due and when your car needs fuel. But when did you last check your tyres? It’s one of those jobs that’s easy to forget, yet your tyres are your only contact with the road. When did you last check yours?

🍂🚗 October is Tyre Safety Month! With autumn bringing wetter roads, falling leaves, cooler temperatures, and shorter days as the clocks went back, don’t let vital tyre checks slip down your to-do list. #MakeTimeforTyres Info on #tyre maintenance at TheMotorOmbudsman.org/tyres

Tyre checks aren’t just about avoiding inconvenience. Driving with illegal tyres can mean a fine of up to £2,500 and three penalty points per tyre. Four tyres means four responsibilities. Check yours regularly and deal with problems before getting back on the road .

Missing a tyre valve cap? It might be small, but it has a job to do. The cap helps keep dirt and moisture away from the valve. When checking your tyre pressures, take a second to make sure every valve has its cap securely fitted too.

School. Football. Swimming. Shopping. Friends’ houses. The family taxi rarely gets a day off. With so many journeys adding up, give its tyres some attention too. Check them at least once a month and before long journeys. When did you last check yours?

More water on the road. Less tread on the tyre. Not a combination to ignore. Wet grip reduces as tread wears and surface water gets deeper. Check your tread, and when the rain falls, reduce your speed for the conditions.
