The Dangers Of Part Worn Tyres
Part worn tyres may often be cheaper than your standard car tyres that you can purchase from websites such as Tyre Shopper or other tyre retailers. However, is that little bit of cost saving worth it in the long run? We don't think so- read below to find out why.
Reduced Safety Levels
Tyres are primarily the most important safety feature of your vehicle. If your tyres are not up to the job, you can cause yourself and others serious injury. Why would you take that risk? According to Tyre Safe, over 1200 road casualties are caused each year through "detective or under-inflated tyres". View the YouTube video below which highlights the dangers of buying tyres part worn. For other videos on part worn tyres please click here.
Cheaper Cost But Higher Risk
Part worn tyres will significantly reduce braking distances, due to the inferior grip levels compared to new tyres. If you are looking to buy part worn tyres we advise you to head over to our budget tyres webpage beforehand. Here you can find cheap tyres which are new, road legal and will be more safe than part worn tyres. Buying part warn tyres is a false economy- yes, they may be cheaper but they will not last as long or be as safe as a new tyre from Tyre Shopper.
The Law For Part Worn Tyres
Part worn tyres are legal to be offered for sale. However, here at Tyre Shopper we refuse to sell part worn tyres- we value our customer's safety too much to even think about taking that risk. If you are interested in the laws for selling part worn tyres, please click here.
If you are looking for new tyres for your car, sports utility vehicle, 4x4 or van, steer clear from part worn tyres- look no further than Tyre Shopper. We also include a price promise to ensure you get the best deal and most importantly, stay and keep other safe on our roads. We understand that people may have a small budget when looking to buy tyres- that is why we have a whole category within our website dedicated to cheap budget tyres at discount prices.
