Last month saw record levels of interest in motorbike safety organisation TyreSafe’s Bike Tyre Safety Month, a campaign to increase awareness of the importance in checking your motorbike tyres. The organisation’s website saw a record 26,700 visits in April, a 185% increase on the same month last year.
Aimed at new and experienced riders alike, the campaign offered free tyre checks at hundreds of garages and tyre retail outlets across the country, plus various top tyre safety tips and advice through a dedicated section of the TyreSafe website.
The importance of tyre safety should of course always be high on a motorbike rider’s safety priorities, as unchecked tyres can lead to bigger problems such as impaired handling and reduced fuel efficiency.
