Your tyres need a spring clean too – especially with rainy days ahead

Giving your tyres a quick 'spring clean' could make the difference between a safe stop and a costly accident.
Technical tyre expert at Dunlop, Keith Phelps, said: “Most of us don’t think about our tyres until something goes wrong. But with wet roads ahead, it’s worth taking a few minutes now to check that your tyres are clean, safe and ready for the season.”
Why tyres need a seasonal check:
Dunlop’s five-step spring clean approach for your tyres:
- Wash and wipe down – cleaning off dirt from the tyres helps you spot hidden cracks or cuts.
- Check your tread – aim for at least 3mm to handle wet roads safely.
- Check tyre pressures every week when the tyres are cold – stick to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressures. Check in at your local Dunlop fitment centre for a professional check.
- Don’t forget the spare – it should be in the same roadworthy condition as your main tyres.
- Alongside everyday care, invest in tyres that offer value-add benefits such as Dunlop Sure for added peace of mind. The Dunlop Sure tyre cover provides free tyre insurance for up to 12 months against irreparable damage.
“Spring is a season of renewal, but it also brings the challenge of sudden rains and slippery roads. A quick tyre check can make the difference between a safe journey and a roadside emergency. With Dunlop’s advanced technology and the added peace of mind of our Dunlop Sure cover, motorists can drive with confidence this rainy season,” said Phelps.
