Roadside Check Reveals Improvements in Illegal Tyres in Lincolnshire
November 3, 2009

A roadside tyre check initiative arranged by Lincolnshire Police and supported by the Tyre Industry Council has revealed that 6% of vehicles stopped had at least one tyre at or below 1.6mm – the national average is 11%. The last time this type of check was carried out in Lincolnshire was in 2001 where the number of illegal tyres was 8%. The survey also revealed that the number of vehicles with at least one badly worn tyre i.e between 1.7mm and 2mm was 10.2%.

A worrying aspect of the check, which took place at various locations throughout the county, was that only 29% of drivers knew that the legal minimum was 1.6mm.

Inspector Jon Morris, Head of Casualty Reduction – Lincolnshire Police said, “A significant part of our continuing education and enforcement campaign to reduce casualties incorporates targeting identified problem areas, such as defective tyres.

“It is, therefore, encouraging to note that of the drivers stopped throughout Lincolnshire, less and less have un-roadworthy tyres. “Whilst driving, vehicle maintenance is so important that it can often contribute to what occurs in life and death situations. Drivers need to know that their vehicle can respond appropriately and that they are not going to be a danger to themselves and others.

“Tyre education will continue in this county and we will strive to increase the safety of everyone using this county’s road network.”

The Importance Of Tyres Speed Ratings
October 31, 2009

With safe vehicle handling largely dependent on using the right type of tyres for the car, motorists are being urged to consider that selecting tyres of the recommended size, load index and speed symbol is essential to safe driving.

When shopping for tyres, many motorists hold the misconception that their choice of speed symbol should be determined by how fast they drive.

The reality is that a tyre’s speed symbol is not just a measure of the tyre’s maximum speed capability, it also provides an indication of overall performance, even at lower speeds. While many motorists may be feeling the pinch in the current economic climate, we would encourage them not to compromise on road safety.

Driving on tyres with a lower speed symbol than recommended may seriously compromise vehicle handling, putting the driver and other road users at risk. It could also cause irreversible damage through exaggerated wear or sidewall cracking.
