Mytyres.co.uk Warns Against Buying Part-worn Tyres

Mytyres.co.uk – the UK part of Europe’s largest online tyre retailing group Delticom AG – is warning the increasing number of motorists considering part worn tyres that this is an example of false economy and a potentially dangerous decision. Whilst it is difficult to establish the number of part-worn tyres on sale in the UK, research suggests that the number of tyre retailers looking to supply this type of tyre because of the current economic climate is increasing. Tyres & Accessories’ best estimate for the size of this market puts the figure at up to 2 million units.

UK legislation means part-worn tyres must be thoroughly examined by retailers and have a minimum of 2mm of tread, mytyres’ statement suggests it is increasingly the case that they offer very bad value for money. According to Lincolnshire County Council Trading Standards Service, upwards of 30 per cent may have dangerous and unseen faults.

Mytyres.co.uk says that there has never been a better time to buy new car tyres with competition keener than ever and web-based retailers offering a wide variety of car tyres at competitive prices. Furthermore in order to celebrate of eight years in business this month, mytyres is offering an 8 per cent discount to anyone ordering tyres up to the 25 November.
