3. Check tyre pressures

Check tyre pressures

Even if your tyres are in pristine condition, it’s important to ensure they are set at the correct pressure.

Under-inflated rubber wears more quickly, and increases your car’s fuel consumption.

But, more importantly, as there’s less grip than at other times of the year, low pressures affect handling and braking. Our favourite gauge is the handy £9.75 Michelin Key Ring Digital.
