Tyres in Pennsylvania, Chippenham, Wiltshire

According to the AA, the average life expectancy of a tyre is around 20,000 miles - this is based on average day to day use and doesn't account for unexpected damage, such as driving over sharp materials or making prolonged contact with harsher road surfaces.

In today's busy and modern world many of us rely on the freedom and convenience that our vehicles offer. However, due to the relative long life expectancy of our tyres, it's all too easy to forget about the wear and tear that they endure each and every day.

This is why it is so important to not only be aware of the age and condition of your vehicles tyres, but also to ensure that you are using the correct seasonal tyres at the right times - such as winter tyres during the colder months when road surface conditions can change dramatically.
