Volkswagen and Which? Support Tyre Safety Month
The entire month of October is Tyre Safety Month, and the Volkswagen brand is providing its wholehearted cooperation for such a cause.
Organized by Tyresafe, United Kingdom’s renowned tyre safety organization, the said consumer awareness campaign aims to highlight the value of healthy tires and accurate tire pressure. The specific message is that properly geared tires instinctively result to better road safety, decreased fuel consumption, and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.
Campaign spokesperson Vicki Butler-Henderson reiterates the value of such a cause: “So many drivers neglect the basics of tire maintenance. But keeping the correct tire pressure means optimum vehicle handling, improved road grip and better braking and cornering. Having the correct pressure also means that motorists will benefit from longer tire life and use the minimum fuel required for their vehicle – which helps save money and the environment.”
Volkswagen, for their part, has the proud label of being the first carmaker in the UK to give its support to Tyre Safety Month. As part of the ongoing campaign, Volkswagen has offered to provide consumers with a free tire pressure and safety checkup on their respective vehicles, as well as a tire safety guideline leaflet. All 250 retail networks of Volkswagen are said to be participating for this campaign.
