CREWE motorists are being offered the opportunity to ensure their car tyres are in a safe state and fit to cope with the worst possible weather this winter.

Throughout October’s national Tyre Safety Month, Crewe Tyre and Exhaust in West Street is offering drivers a free tyre safety check covering tyre pressures, tread depth and a visual inspection of the tyre’s condition to ensure they are safe and legal.

“October is normally the wettest month of the year in the UK, so it’s essential that drivers’ tyres are in a good condition in preparation for this,” said Eric Harrison, owner of Crewe Tyre and Exhaust.

“After last year’s record rainfall we should expect another very wet winter and, without safe and legal tyres, motorists will be risking their safety on the road.”
