Halfway Through Tyre Safety Month: Have You Been ‘Caught in the A.C.T.’ Yet?

October marks Tyre Safety Month, and we’re already halfway through TyreSafe’s superhero-themed “Get Caught in the A.C.T.” campaign. If you haven’t yet taken part, there’s still time to join the movement and make a difference on the road.

This year’s campaign is all about turning everyday motorists into tyre safety heroes by focusing on three simple, but critical, tyre checks: Air Pressure, Condition, and Tread (A.C.T.). TyreSafe is encouraging drivers to embrace these checks as regular habits, helping reduce tyre-related accidents and improve road safety for everyone.

TyreSafe has adopted a unique superhero theme, using eye-catching comic visuals to make tyre maintenance fun and engaging. Here’s a quick refresher on the A.C.T. principles:

  • Air Pressure: Properly inflated tyres are vital for both safety and fuel efficiency. Check your tyre pressure monthly to ensure optimal performance.
  • Condition: Inspect your tyres for signs of damage, such as bulges, cuts, or uneven wear, which could lead to dangerous blowouts.
  • Tread: Adequate tread depth is essential for good traction, particularly in wet conditions, where it helps prevent skidding and improves braking.

With two weeks left in the campaign, there’s no better time to start. TyreSafe’s campaign not only serves as a reminder but also as a challenge: can you make tyre checks a monthly habit? By doing so, you’re not just protecting yourself but also contributing to a broader movement that aims to make roads safer for all.

Throughout October, TyreSafe has been highlighting real-life tyre safety heroes on social media, individuals who have taken tyre maintenance seriously and shared their stories. By joining in, you too could become part of this community of tyre safety advocates.
