Going Potty – How to stop your car being damaged by a pothole
Here at Grippy.co.uk we know that keeping your tyres safe from the dreaded potholes can be no easy task. With so many more pot holes opening up on today’s roads, they can appear in an instant and before you have time to react… the damage has already been done! From Continental tyres, to Bridgestones, Uniroyals and Nexens or Events, a pot hole is a pot hole and they take no prisoners.
Ways to tackle a pothole are simple, you have two choices! If you can avoid it and manoeuvre around it without causing an accident then do so, steer clear. Or if there’s no way around it, simply slow down and drive over it with caution. Always avoid last minute braking if you can, this adds more weight to the nose of the car and will result in more damage to your front tyres. Don’t forget your back tyres either, it’s not just the front ones that can be at risk from the dreaded potholes, you’re not in the clear until you can see it in your rear view mirror!
So next time you’re on the road, keep an eye out! That deep puddle that looks fun to drive through…stop and think what’s lurking underneath! That sharp corner on that country lane…what’s round the bend and out of sight?!
