That tyre pressure warning light isn’t background decoration. If your TPMS alerts you to a pressure problem, take notice. Check your tyres and investigate why the warning has appeared. Simply resetting the system doesn’t fix the reason it came on.

What happens next? A driver pulls out in front of you. You hit the brakes. If your tyres are illegal or poorly maintained, your vehicle could take longer to stop. That's why checking them matters. #TyreSafetyMonth #ActBeforeYouReact

🚗 TyreSafe is partnering with Mat MacDonald, the West Midlands Road Safety Commissioner and the UK’s first in the role, to strengthen road safety efforts. Remember ACT: Air pressure, Condition and Tread. A few minutes checking your tyres could save lives. Read more: tyresafe.org/about-tyresafe/… #TyreSafety

Passengers in every seat? Boot packed to the top? A heavily loaded car may need different tyre pressures. Before setting off, check the manufacturer’s recommendations for the load you’re carrying and adjust your pressures when required.

You might forget where you parked yesterday, but you'll probably never forget your closest near miss. TyreSafe's latest research found that 38% of UK drivers have experienced one in the past year. Make sure your tyres are ready for the moments you can't predict. #TyreSafetyMonth #ActBeforeYouReact

Near misses don't usually come with a warning. Neither do the effects of illegal or poorly maintained tyres until you need to brake suddenly. Check your tyres today because they could help you stop in time. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

Being a skilled driver is important, but no amount of experience can compensate for poor tyre condition. Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle in contact with the road, so make checking them part of every journey. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

One site visit becomes three. A meeting runs late. Another 100 miles goes on the clock. If you drive for work, mileage can build quickly. Your tyres are working every mile with you, so make regular checks part of the working week, not an afterthought.

Finish the sentence: "I knew it was a close call when..." Whatever comes to mind, you're not alone. More than a third of UK drivers have experienced a near miss in the past year. Don't wait for another one to remind you to check your tyres. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

You press the brake pedal, but your tyres have to transfer that braking force to the road. In October, wet roads can make that job even harder. Your tyres are critical to braking, so their pressure, condition and tread deserve more than an occasional glance.

You can't control another driver's decisions, the weather or the unexpected. You can control the condition of your tyres. Sometimes that's the difference that matters most. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

You’re driving the van home after a busy day. Traffic is flowing and everything feels fine. Then the vehicle in front brakes suddenly. That isn’t the moment to wonder whether your tyres are ready. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

Question of the day: What causes the most near misses? If you guessed another driver pulling out or braking suddenly, you're right. That's exactly what 46% of drivers who experienced a near miss said happened. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouReact

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?

We've all had that heart-in-mouth moment on the road. TyreSafe's latest research found that 38% of UK drivers have experienced a near miss in the past year. Illegal or poorly maintained tyres can increase stopping distances. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouReact

1 in 10 drivers say they've skidded or lost grip. That's not just a statistic. It's a reminder that tyre condition can make all the difference when the unexpected happens. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

October rain puts your tread to work. Tread helps clear water from between your tyres and the road. 1.6mm is the legal minimum for cars, but don’t treat it as a target. The more tread you have, the better equipped your tyres are to cope with wet roads.

Being a confident driver is a good thing. Thinking confidence alone will keep you safe isn't. Your tyres play a critical role in every journey, so make checking them part of your monthly car maintenance routine. #TyreSafetyMonth #ActBeforeYouREact
