80% of UK motorists clean their cars but only 30% check spare tyre
www.mytyres.co.uk, the online tyre retailer, has found that over 80% of UK motorists clean their vehicles (and tyres regularly) however only 30% admitted to checking the condition of the spare tyre. Almost 20% admitted they have never checked the spare at all, however more than half of the drivers surveyed have checked their tread depth in the last month, which is a promising result.
The survey was undertaken by fast.MAP and the result shows that the spare tyre is the most neglected component on a car and could put drivers in an inconvenient situation or even in danger if not checked. www.mytyres.co.uk recommends that drivers check their spare tyre once a month to ensure the tyre pressure is correct and that the tyre is in a good general condition. If the spare tyre is in a “hard to get to” location there are products on the market which connect to the tyre valve, that will show you the tyre pressure.
