Wednesday 6th October is designated ‘Tyre Safety Day’ to remind all road users to check their tyres for tread depth, correct pressure and for defects. Garda checkpoints will focus on tyre safety during the period. All ITIA members www.itia.ie are participating in Road Safety week by offering FREE tyre checks on all cars, vans and HMVs for the duration of the week.
ITIA Chief Executive, Sue O’Neill noted that tyres are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road, yet the importance of tyres to vehicle safety is often neglected. “Our message is: Don’t chance it – Check your tyres and it could save your life”.
