TyreSafe states ‘Summer could spell a stark rise in tyre-related incidents, as more Brits choose to staycation’.
If you think your car needs new tyres you can order replacement tyres by completing our online order form or contacting your nearest Lexus Centre. Plus, we are now offering Price Match Guarantee on all tyres.
TyreSafe is the UK’s leading authority on tyre safety. The organisation was established in 2006 with the aim of reducing the number of tyre-related incidents on the UK’s roads. Every year on average 153 people are killed or seriously injured from incidents caused by a defective tyre and there are 2.2m MOT failures due to tyres.
This year’s TyreSafe’s Summer Campaign covers all three key areas of routine tyre maintenance: Air pressure, Condition and Tread Depth – ACT.
In this guide to tyre safety we’ll explore the importance of tyre safety, the different tyre types and how to check the tyres on your Lexus.
Clearly with the shocking statistics around incidents caused by defective tyres and as the only part of the car making physical contact with the road, tyre safety is really important. It is through the tyres that your car accelerates, grips, turns, slows and in an emergency brings the car to a complete stop.
However, what many people don’t realise is that despite the warmer weather in June, July and August, these are the months in which a tyre related incident is most likely to happen. Plus, with 72% of Brits going on a staycation this year, our vehicles are likely to get a lot more use this summer.
Therefore, it is important to regularly check the condition of your tyres and especially before a long journey or trip away.
There are a range of tyres available for your Lexus including ‘All Season’, ‘Runflat’, ‘Winter’ and ‘Standard’ tyres. No matter which type of tyre your Lexus has, you can carry out the same safety checks, using ACT:
Air Pressure: use an accurate tyre pressure gauge to check the pressure of the air in your tyres against the recommended PSI. The recommended PSI can be found on either the tyre wall, the inside of the door pillar or in your vehicle’s handbook.
Condition: any damage to your tyres such as lumps, cuts or cracks can indicate a serious issue and your tyres may need replacing urgently.
Tread Depth: check the depth of the tread on your tyres using an accurate gauge to ensure it is at least 1.6mm. Another way to test the depth of the tread is to use a 20p coin – if the outer band is hidden, your tyres should be safe and legal.
If you want a Lexus Trained Technician to inspect your tyres instead, you can book a complimentary tyre inspection for your Lexus or other make vehicle at one of our Lexus Centres.
