Škoda Free Tyre Safety Check

A study conducted by TyreSafe* revealed Britain’s motorists could be spending up to £600 million on unnecessary fuel bills. Research** suggests as many as 57% of car and van tyres on the roads are being driven below recommended inflation pressures, increasing vehicles’ fuel consumption and the risk of being involved in an incident.

Regularly Checking Your Tyres is Really Important

The pressurised air inside the tyre is what helps to support the weight of your vehicle and its load. Having under-inflated tyres can compromise this and reduces handling and grip.
On high-speed motorway journeys, there’s also higher risk of a dangerous blowout.
In addition, keeping your tyres at the optimum pressure can also reduce running costs.
A shocking 35% of tyres are being driven at least 8psi below the vehicle manufacturers’ recommendation.
Air Pressure has a decisive influence on the way your vehicle accelerates, brakes and corners
Safe tyres with the correct air pressure can reduce the risks to you, your passengers and all road users
3% more fuel used when pressure is 6 psi below recommended inflation
For every 10% a tyre is under-inflated. Its wear can increase by 10%
£600 million wasted yearly on fuel costs by British motorists driving with under-inflated tyres
56.8% of car tyres in the UK are at least 4 psi below recommended pressures

Know when you're out of your depth

When slowing from 70mph, the stopping distance difference between a 3mm depth and the legal limit of 1.6mm depth is 44m.That's the length of four double decker buses! It's important to remember that your tyres are the only thing connecting you to the road and at any one time you have only four hand-sized pieces of tread contact.
