Since the start of the first ever Bike Tyre Safety Month, which extends throughout the month of March, TyreSafe has witnessed a surge in the popularity of its “Motorcycle Tyres and Your Safety” leaflet, which is only one of several information guides on tyre safety which can be downloaded free of charge from the TyreSafe website.
With the arrival of Spring, many bikers will be looking to get back on their motorcycles, after having been stored away during the winter period. With prolonged static activity, this poses added dangers for riders says TyreSafe, the UK’s leading tyre safety organisation. Tyres may become under-inflated and will be subject to “dry rotting” or "cracking,” particularly if the bike has not been in covered storage, and has been exposed to cool temperatures.
