Run-flat tyres are designed to keep you moving even in the event of a puncture. They feature a reinforced sidewall that is used to hold the weight of the car when the air pressure begins to drop. This then allows you to continue to drive at a reduced speed until you can stop.
You've heard of run-flat #tyres before, but should you use them? 🤔🚗 bit.ly/2RSML5X

Help us raise awareness of the importance and simplicity of checking your #treaddepth, by DM’ing us videos of your children big and small conducting the #20ptest for use across our social media and #YouTube channels. #SoSimpleAnAdultCanDoIt

When a tyre bursts, DON'T apply the brakes! Rather use the momentum and gears to slow down the vehicle. A sudden change in direction or braking will result in loss of control. Rather lose one rim, than your car or your life. #RoadSafety

Repeated scuffing of #vantyres against kerbs, especially during multi-drop deliveries, can cause damage and rapid or irregular wear to tyres, so they need to be checked regularly for signs of wear, damage and #misalignment.
Next up on our virtual road trip with @Team4Runner? The Appalachian Mountains! The cold and muddy conditions at elevation made for an interesting ride as we fought through shallow streams and deep muck. #Firestone #StaySafe

Our tyre testing facility Contidrom opened in 1967 on the edge of the Lüneburg Heath in Germany. It is still used today for many of our pioneering tyre testing activities. Take a virtual tour 👉ow.ly/U1NZ50zub89 #Contidrom #TyreTesting #TBT #360

The most common reason for irregular wear is incorrect #tyrepressure as the way that tyres are inflated directly affect #tyre wear. If over-inflated, pressure is forced to the centre, consequently lifting the tyre edges away from the road surface.

Many of the incidents on today's roads can be avoided by carrying out just a few simple #tyrechecks before departing, including: inspecting #airpressure, #tyretreadlevels and the tyre's overall condition. These checks can make a crucial difference to how a car performs.

While you’re checking your #treaddepth and #pressures, it’s a good opportunity to have a look at your tyre’s condition. Tyres are never manufactured with lumps, bumps or objects sticking in them, so if you see any of these, you’ll need to have the #tyre inspected.

Whether you are a #vandriver, #fleetmanager or #businessowner, you have a duty of care and responsibility to ensure your vehicle’s tyres are in a legal and roadworthy state. Regular checks and inspections are a critical element in ensuring your #tyres are safe and legal.

The correct #pressure setting for your vehicle will be displayed in the door shut or filler cap and can also be found in the owner’s manual or on #TyreSafe’s #PressureChecker, but remember there are usually two pressures – one for normal loads and the other when fully laden.

So we have seen that although we are all using our cars less, this has lead to some people forgetting that the speed limits still apply. It's good to remember 1 in 4 fatal accidents is caused by a speeding driver! Slow down! Watch out for pedestrians! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚘 #Stayalert

It’s easy to overlook your #sparetyre, but if one of your #tyres is damaged or punctured by road debris, you may need it to get home or to your nearest #tyrecentre, so it’s vital to check your #sparetyre just as often as the tyres on your wheels that are in day-to-day use.

A tyre that is partially deflated will put extra stress on the #sidewall and may cause lasting damage if left for an extended period, so if you have space roll your car forwards or backwards slightly to change the area where the stress on the #sidewall is greatest.

#WheelAlignment, also known as #wheeltracing is an essential step to maintaining tyre grip and preventing premature #tyrewear. Having an incorrect #wheelalignment can result in your #tyres wearing out quickly, as well as causing problems with the stability of your car.

With the intense pressure our #NHSHeros and #Keyworkers are currently facing, make their day that little bit easier by making sure that their tyres are in good general condition. Look for any cuts, lumps or bulges and any objects embedded in the tread that should be removed.
