CAR TYRE DAMAGE TOP TIPS


  • Check your car tyres for damage regularly
  • Make sure you check each tyre for cracks, cuts, bulges and sharp objects
  • Tyres with lumps or bulges might be suffering from internal damage, and should be brought to the attention of a car tyre expert
  • Any cut that looks about 2 1/2cm deep might have reached the internal structure of the tyre, and should be checked by a tyre expert
  • Groups of small cracks called 'crazing' are a sign of tyre aging, and indicate it's probably time to get replacements
  • If a sharp object is found embedded in the tyre, take the car to an expert and they will advise on whether a new tyre is required
  • If you do discover any damage at all, it's probably worth fitting the spare tyre just to be on the safe side before taking the car to an expert
  • Most car tyre retailers offer a free tyre check service without an appointment. If the tyre is not wearing evenly, it could be a sign the wheels are not aligned which will need correcting
