Making Tracks – The Tyre Blog

I’ve been working within the field of car maintenance for over decade and the one thing that I get asked about more than anything else is tyres. Do you know when to exchange your tyres for new ones? Do you know how to keep your car’s tyres properly inflated. Are you confused about the legal limit you can run your tyres’ tread depth down to without getting into trouble?

All of these questions – and many more besides – are discussed in my blog which is entirely devoted to car, van and motorbike tyres.
