General Tyre and Wheel Care for Car Owners

Car wheels are such an important part of their construction and need to be properly looked after so that driving will be safe and reliable. A good level of car tyre care will help with this, making sure tyres are in good condition before driving on them. Here are some general tips for caring for tyres and wheels:

  • Check tyre pressure regularly. One of the first signs you may get that a tyre is punctured or needs replacing is the pressure dropping. If you monitor this closely it can mitigate risk when driving.
  • Don’t dent or bash wheels. Be careful when parking in tight spaces and be sure not to damage your wheels themselves.
  • Use different tyres depending on weather conditions. Many car tyres in the UK are general purpose, but these may get damaged in winter by grit and poor driving conditions. Winter tyres can really help with this.
