The app features details of how to undertake regular maintenance checks, what to do at the roadside in the event of a puncture or incident and the use of temporary spares. It also features the TyreSafe retailer locator and allows users to receive notifications through their device reminding them to check their tyres and other important announcements.

“The Tyre Safety Companion is a valuable resource for Britain’s drivers offering advice and practical features to help avoid a tyre-related incident and guidance should they suffer a puncture,” said Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe. “TyreSafe is committed to raising awareness on the dangers of defective and illegal tyres and providing information to keep risks on the road to an absolute minimum. The Tyre Safety Companion app is the ideal way to provide that advice while motorists are out on the road.”

TyreSafe’s Tyre Safety Companion is available as a free download on both Apple’s iTunes and Google’s Play stores.
