Summer increases tyre inflation demand, Ring Automotive

Ring Automotive has reiterated the need to look after tyres, following research by road safety charity TyreSafe revealing that more tyre-related incidents are reported in summer than at any other time of the year.

With longer journeys to holiday destinations across the UK and Europe, plus heavier loads with passengers and luggage onboard the car, drivers are being reminded to check their tyre pressures and tyre condition before setting off.

Henry Bisson, marketing director at Ring, said: “The TyreSafe charity research reveals that there’s an alarming rate of tyre failure-related incidents on UK roads particularly in the summer months. It’s imperative, therefore, that drivers are making the necessary checks ahead of travelling such as correctly inflating the tyres and adapting for the expected load.”

Ring’s award winning RTC tyre inflator range includes the RTC450, packed with features such as auto stop, a digital display, light, and wind-up cable or the versatile, battery-operated cordless RTC2000, that can be used for cars and bikes. The rechargeable lithium battery can be used as a portable power bank for charging mobile devices.
