Scared of Getting Ripped Off When You Buy Tyres?
Apparently more than a third of British motorists are worried they are spending too much money on tyres because of their lack of knowledge, according to a recent survey.
Over 50% also admitted they didn’t know what brand of tyres were currently on their car. This lack of awareness included simple tyre maintenance, such as tread depth and tyre pressure, and women were the worst culprits, despite nearly 40% of women responding that they believed it was a misconception that women were uninterested in motoring and cars.
Tyre maintenance is easy to do at home and can save you from suffering a flat tyre or blowout, and the inconvenience (and danger) these bring. You can also avoid being ripped off when you buy your tyres by paying attention to the new European legislation on tyre labelling, which helps to explain exactly what rating your tyres have for several categories, including: noise level, fuel efficiency, and stopping distance. Choosing high rated tyres not only helps improve road safety and reduce the environmental impact of your tyres, but will also save you money by increasing your fuel economy.
