First-time drivers: Five things you need to know about car tyres
Tyres are one of the most important safety features on your car, but what do you need to know to ensure you’re safe on the road?
Tyres are one of the most important safety features on your car.
They help the vehicle change direction, stop and go, but if they’re not checked regularly, they could be dangerous and cause an accident.
If you’re a new driver, a lack of experience might mean you will need to know some of the important factors to look at when it comes to your tyres.
What does the writing on the tyre mean? How old is it? When do I need to replace them? We’ve spoken to the experts at Davanti Tyres to give a clearer understanding about everything you need to know about car tyres.
Check their pressure and do a visual inspection
The first thing to check is tyre pressures. Over time, your car’s tyres might lose pressure, so routinely checking them will ensure that they’re always at the right levels.
All cars will come with a recommended tyre pressure and will feature information within the vehicle to tell you. They are usually found behind the car’s fuel filler door, inside the door shuts or in the user manual. Having the correct tyre pressures will make the car drive better, put less wear on the rubber and make the vehicle more fuel-efficient, too.
