Tyre Wars - An Auto Express Safety Campaign

Auto Express has taken the wraps off its very own Super Safe rubber, in the latest instalment of our Tyre Wars campaign.

Designed to our specifications with the help of Continental, our cover boasts clear Best Before dates, to make it easier to monitor for signs of ageing and wear and tear, and could help cut the 1,000 deaths and injuries caused by dodgy rubber each year.
