TyreSafe is issuing new messaging to motorists with the Met Office forecasting the wettest summer on record. Proper tyre maintenance plays a critical role in these conditions, particularly ensuring adequate tread depth to prevent aquaplaning and ensure shorter braking distances. With 50 days of rain forecast over the next three months, TyreSafe is urging drivers to take proactive steps to ensure their safety on the roads. The short, sharp torrential summer downpours will lead to particularly hazardous driving environments, especially on motorways and dual carriageways.

In the landscape of modern fleet management, increasing demand within the local public transport and freight haulage sectors underscores the significance of electric propulsion. While the focus on electric vehicles extends beyond cars, the common challenge of optimising range persists across all vehicle types. This poses a pertinent question for operators of electric trucks: How to maximise range without resorting to simply installing larger batteries? The answer lies in a critical but sometimes overlooked component – tyres.
Translogik has become a new supporter of TyreSafe as the firm “continues its mission to champion road safety and promote responsible tyre management”.
All-season tyres are a logical choice for smaller vehicles primarily used in urban areas, and for this reason, it is surprising that few tyre tests focus on fitments for cars such as these. Tyre Reviews addressed this in its 2023 all-season test, looking at ten tyres in size 195/65 R15. Site founder and resident tester Jonathan Benson fitted these to a VW Golf 7 and evaluated the tyres’ performance in dry, wet and snowy conditions as well as for comfort and value.
Continental has won a new tyre supply deal for BMW’s latest 5 Series.

Continental Tyres and its retread brand Bandvulc are partnering with EcoDriven to support the environmental product promoter’s UK-wide Sustainability Showcase tour in 2024.

Continental will supply its Bandvulc Citymaster 5 bus tyres and ContiPressureCheck TPMS system, both products that demonstrate its focus on sustainability.

Depending on market and preference, eDaily 42S buyers can choose from the Continental VanContact Ultra, VanContact Eco, VanContact4Season or VanContact Winter.
It’s not uncommon for motoring clubs or magazines to withhold their recommendation when testing tyres, but they typically reserve this cautionary result for low-priced candidates that struggle to compete against premium and mid-range rivals. But Autozeitung has declined to recommend no less than five tyres in its 2023 all-season test – more than half the entire field – including products from known names.
In the preamble to its 2023 winter tyre test, SUV and 4×4 specialist publication Auto Bild Allrad argues that tyres play an even more important role than all-wheel drive when piloting a vehicle in wintry conditions. While employing four driving wheels instead of two undoubtedly improves traction, this only represents one aspect of vehicle safety – when it comes to braking and negotiating curves, tyres are decisive.
AutoBild Allrad’s 2023 test of 10 all-season SUV tyres gave four tyres the top “exemplary” grade, with two joint-winners. In Germany, all-season tyres have grown with the most recent product generations’ improved technology, despite the traditional strength of its seasonal tyre change market. The magazine, one of Germany’s leading consumer automotive publications, said the top-ranking tyres in its latest test have “matured into true heroes of road traffic.” At the other end of the scale, three of the size 235/65 R17 108 V/W tyres were described as “not recommended”, while three other tyres gained “satisfactory” and “good” final verdicts. So which all-season products could AutoBild Allrad “unreservedly recommend” to motorists?

Hughes called upon this power to clock a new milestone of 135.9 mph on a 346-metre indoor straight.
Fitting Michelin X Works tyres across its fleet has allowed concrete, mortar and screed supplier, Eco-Readymix, to record a reduction in tyre damage and downtime, it says. The company has fitted Michelin Remix X Works XDY 315/80 R22.5 on the drive axle and X Works HD Z 315/80 R22.5 on the steer axle of its vehicles as it transitions its entire 30-strong fleet to Michelin tyres.
