How driving affects your tyres – do's and don'ts

• Can my driving habits affect my tyre wear?

  They certainly can. Here are some tips to increase the life of your tyres:

  • Don't speed: excessive heat is generated when driving at high speeds.
  • Avoid fast turns on curves and around corners; fast starts and panic stops.
  • Don't ride on the edge of the pavement or drive over curbs, chuck-holes, or other obstructions.
