Easter is a favourite time of the year for caravan breaks, but Brits have been warned to make sure they do not end up ruining their holiday due to a flat tyre.
According to Protyre, ten million motorists will take to the road over the Easter long weekend, which could increase the number of breakdowns on the UK’s roads.
However, people can cut their chances of experiencing difficulties by making some last minute checks of their vehicle and the caravan they hope to tow.
A quick look at tyres can reveal wear and tear and clues to problems with suspension, as well as alert drivers to punctures or simply just that the treads need to be inflated.
Protyre claimed that almost one in every four cars and vans have at least one defective or badly-worn tyre, which could increase the chances of an accident.
“It’s easy to forget to check your tyres with all the distractions of an Easter getaway, but they are critical to the safety of your vehicle,” retail director Simon Hiorns said.
