Car manufacturers Peugeot and Citroen have become the latest two marques to join the TyreSafe campaign. This brings the number of vehicle manufacturer members to fifteen. Launched in 2006, TyreSafe is one of the UK leading tyre safety organisations, and is dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of unsafe and illegal tyres to UK motorists.
Peugeot and Citroen will now take on the role of educating their customers about the importance of tyre maintenance.
Tyre safety is particularly important during the summer, when long journeys are taken by many motorists heading off on holiday. Before a long journey, always remember to check your tyre pressure is correct for the weight of the load you are carrying; the tyre tread is the correct depth, and also the general condition of the tyres is good. This includes checking the spare tyre also. Not only will these important checks reduce the likelihood of an accident, but correct tyre care can increase the life of tyres as well as reducing fuel bills. Under-inflated tyres wear out much quicker and need replacing more frequently. When a tyres is at eighty percent of the recommended pressure, tyre life is estimated to fall to around seventy-five percent; plus their rolling resistance increases which means that more fuel is required to drive the car.

Peugeot and Citroen customers will now be informed about the capabilities of their vehicles as the tyre safety message is distributed across their UK dealerships. The news should reassure buyers who may be looking to buy a new Peugeot Hampshire or perhaps a new Citroen in Staffordshire.
