Up to 70% of inspected two-wheeler tyres need replacement, reports Protyre

The motorcycling season is just around the corner and riders nationwide are already preparing their bikes and scooters for a return to the road. This includes, of course, checking the rubber. Information from Protyre highlights a need for close scrutiny in this department: The independent retailer regularly deals with riders, and based on this experience it indicates that up to 70 per cent of motorcycles and scooters visiting Protyre premises have at least one tyre that is either defective or badly worn and in need of replacement. Protyre comments that these findings reinforce information from VOSA that shows defective tyres to be the fourth most frequent cause of motorcycle MOT failure in the UK.

WTO rules against parallel US duties on Chinese OTR tyres

The United Steelworkers has described a decision made by the Appeals body of the World Trade Organization as “a slap in the face to US workers and industries that are harmed by China's predatory trade practices.” The decision reverses the findings of a WTO panel report from last year on anti-dumping and countervailing duty proceedings for off-road tyres and a number of other products from China; specifically, the WTO states the US Department of Commerce acted erroneously by simultaneous levying both anti-dumping and countervailing duties on these products.

Under-inflated tyres costing European motorists £2.4m a year

Statistically speaking, you’re more likely than not to be driving on under-inflated tyres. When Bridgestone headed out last year and checked the tyre condition of 38,000 cars in nine European countries, it found 71 per cent of participating motorists to be driving on tyres inflated to a lower than recommended pressure. The majority of these under-inflated tyres were admittedly less than 0.5 bar under pressure, yet 7.5 per cent of motorists’ tyres were more than 0.5 bar under pressure and half a percent of motorists were driving on tyres at least 0.75 bar under pressure.
