Tyres are changing

10% of all MOT failures are tyre related. This trend has been increasing year on year, with the number one tyre failure associated to worn treads, bulges and cuts in the tyre wall. Tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) have also seen a big increase. Millions of cars in the UK are now fitted with tyre pressure monitoring systems and as of 1 January 2015, a car displaying a TPMS fault when submitted for its MOT will result in a test failure.

Correct tyre care and maintenance is critical for the safety of vehicles on the UK roads. Being able to offer your customers services such as tyre checks and replacement, wheel balancing, as well as TPMS checks and replacement will add an additional income to your business. Having the right equipment offers this capability.

Due to wear tyres need to be replaced every two to three years based on the current average annual mileage figures. This figure doesn’t consider any tyre damage caused by poor road conditions such as potholes. TPMS sensors / valves also need to be checked annually and replaced if required. ■ Tyre wear ■ Poor road conditions ■ Tyre MOT failure rate increasing ■ Annual TPMS sensor checks WHY

If you’re currently turning away or sending tyre related work to another garage because you don’t have the right equipment at your garage to do the job, you should consider adding tyre replacement as a service. ■ Increased revenue streams for your workshop ■ Avoid losing work to another garage ■ Increased customer satisfaction and retention ■ Minimal space required BENEFITS
