Free tyre checks at Kevin Burke Tyres

As children return to school, parents are being urged to ensure cars used on the school run are fitted with safe and legal tyres.

To help ensure parents transport children safely - and to avoid a fixed charge of €80 and two penalty points if tyres are below the legal limit of 1.6mm - Kevin Burke Tyres has compiled three simple checks every driver can do at home:

Tyre pressure - should be in line with those recommended by the car manufacturer (see vehicle handbook )

Tread depths - should be greater than the minimum legal tread depth of 1.6mm across the central three quarters of the tyre, around its entire circumference.

General tyre condition - to ensure there are no lumps, cuts or foreign objects embedded in the tread.

Alternatively, pop into Kevin Burke Tyres in Riverside, Galway city; Furzeypark, Athenry, or Crowe Street, Gort, and the friendly team will check them out free of change.
