Driving in the rain and the increasing presence of potholes on the roads can pose significant challenges to both tyre performance and overall vehicle safety. Wet weather conditions reduce tyre traction, making it more difficult to maintain control of your vehicle, especially when roads become slippery.

Tyres in poor condition can increase the risk of skidding or aquaplaning, which occurs when water builds up between the tyre and the road surface, causing a loss of grip. Ensuring that your tyres have sufficient tread depth and are properly inflated is essential for maintaining safe handling and braking performance in wet conditions.

Heavy rain can also lead to the deterioration of road surfaces, often resulting in potholes. These potholes not only damage tyres but can also throw your vehicle’s wheels out of alignment and balance. Misaligned or unbalanced wheels can cause uneven tyre wear, reduce fuel efficiency, and negatively impact steering control. If you’ve recently driven over a pothole or noticed unusual vibrations or uneven tyre wear, it’s important to have your wheels checked as soon as possible.

Regular tyre inspections and maintenance are critical to addressing these challenges. By checking your tyres for signs of wear, damage, or uneven tread, you can spot potential issues early and take action before they become serious.

Regular tyre rotation is a simple but great way to extend the lifespan of your tyres. This service involves changing the position of your tyres to ensure even wear across all four tyres. Front and rear tyres wear differently due to the distinct roles they play in vehicle dynamics. Rotating your tyres helps maintain even tread wear, improving traction and fuel efficiency. It's recommended to rotate your tyres every 5,000 to 8,000 miles or as advised by your vehicle manufacturer.
