How safe are your tyres?

As the Easter school holidays approaches and many families head off on road trips, it’s a good time to check the safety of your tyres. Here at NRMA we understand how critically important tyres are to road safety. They’re the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road, so they are fundamental to handling, braking and responsiveness on the road. In order for your car to operate safely on roads it’s important to ensure the tyres fitted to it are the correct size and type for your car and in good condition.

National Tyre Safety Week is a new initiative launched in Australia, aiming to raise awareness of the importance of tyre maintenance and safety on our roads. The campaign aims to build awareness of the need for regular maintenance by promoting expert safety checks at tyre dealers around the country. Tyreright has lent its support to the project and is offering free safety checks at any of its stores nationwide.

These checks include monitoring of tyre pressures, tread depths, tyre wear and a check of the spare tyre for the vehicle. National Tyre Safety Week is encouraging all motorists to have their tyres checked before their next roadtrip.

At NRMA, we are happy to support National Tyre Safety Week and the initiative to help keep our roads safe
