TyreSafe promoting new posters for April’s Bike Tyre Safety Month
With spring weather arriving in much of the UK this week, tyre safety organisation TyreSafe has launched its annual Bike Tyre Safety Month campaign, with a range of free promotional materials available to download at www.tyresafe.org/bikesafety. Campaign posters can be used to promote free tyre safety checks and a safety leaflet is aimed at informing and educating riders about the importance of ongoing tyre maintenance.
“Tyres are one of the most important parts of a bike when it comes to ensuring rider safety as they are the only point of contact with the road. If tyres have been stored poorly over the winter break then they could have suffered rubber deterioration and loss of pressure, which may make them unsafe or illegal, so it is vital they are given a thorough inspection before heading out,” says Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe.
The condition of tyres should be checked to make sure there are no cuts, cracks or bulges, and riders must ensure there is adequate tread depth to meet legal requirements. Motorcyclists should also ensure tyres are inflated to the correct pressures.
“We need the help of as many tyre retailers and dealerships as possible to remind and educate riders about the importance of looking after their tyres. With a range of free campaign materials available, there really is no excuse not to get involved,” adds Jackson.
