Mytyres.co.uk: Get Spring Started with the Right Tyres

The days are becoming longer and the mercury is rising - once spring has arrived, it is time for a vehicle check. Your car needs to be made ready for the warmer months and this includes changing from winter to summer tyres. In fact, they should be checked first to ensure they are still of an adequate quality.

Washing and polishing your car is not enough to get it ready for spring. To ensure that your summer tyres are in shape and can fulfil their duty, the tyre experts from Mytyres.co.uk advise to undertake a thorough tyre check before the summer season begins. For example, it is a good idea to measure tread wear: the German automobile club ADAC* recommends a minimum tread depth of three millimetres. Tyre pressure should also be checked and signs of damage such as tears or bulges must be examined. The age of the tyres also plays a role. Even if their tread depth is adequate, traction of aged tyres may be reduced dramatically. ADAC experts agree that the lifespan of a tyre is no longer than eight years.

If the result of the check suggests that new tyres need to be fitted, they can be purchased from Mytyres.co.uk simply and conveniently. The online shop offers a wide variety of tyres for each car and intended use at attractive prices and with short delivery times. Additionally, Mytyres.co.uk offers a time-saving and comfortable fully-fitted option; which means having your new tyres delivered to and mounted at a workshop near your location.

It is important to remember that if temperature is consistently above seven degrees Celsius, summer tyres are a much better choice than winter tyres: their tougher rubber compound guarantees shorter braking distances, lower fuel consumption, a minimal level of rolling resistance and greater driving stability, amongst others. “To attain the highest possible level of safety and comfort during the warmer time of the year, intact summer tyres are indispensable. This is why it is important to remember to carry out checks and think about switching tyres from an early stage and, if necessary, to purchase replacements”, advises Thierry Delesalle of Mytyres.co.uk.
