Surrey garage calls for drivers to check their tyres

Feb. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- The winter weather can really play havoc with our roads, making our driving conditions quite treacherous at times. From the extremes of snow and ice making roads slippery to the heavy winter rain that can affect drivers’ visibility and reduce stopping times, it helps to ensure your vehicle is running to its best ability to cope.

But while many drivers know to make changes to the way they drive in these extreme conditions, many don’t always realise that it is actually their car that might be a danger when out and about. Travelling on the roads with worn tyres can be dangerous, although this is often an area of car maintenance that drivers don’t think about.

The experts at both the Shepperton tyres and Walton tyres specialists are encouraging drivers to make a simple tyre check before heading out onto the road, and are happy to offer advice and guidance on the necessary tyre tread limits for those who are unsure what to look for. Making sure tyres are safe and working at their best is important, having the right traction and grip could mean the difference between stopping safely and having an accident during the icy or wet weather.

The Surrey garage suggests checking tyres regularly so you are aware of any general wear and tear. They are happy to make these checks for you at either of their service centres, whether you need Shepperton tyres or Walton tyres. Both centres can also offer a range of new tyres in all the popular sizes, stocking many of the well-known brands such as Evergreen, Bridgestone, Continental and Pirelli.

So before you head out into the winter conditions, take your vehicle to the team at Shepperton Tyres or Walton Tyres for a full check. Having your tyres checked by the experts can put your mind at rest, knowing you are safe to tackle the roads whatever the weather. Ensuring your tyres are at their best and containing the right level of air pressure will mean your car is both safe and running economically.
