19 Million Brits set to travel this May Bank Holiday

The early May bank holiday is approaching, which means many people will be taking to the roads across the UK for a weekend getaway. In fact, according to new research from the RAC, 19 million leisure journeys will be taking place this weekend, the busiest the roads have been for this period in 10 years.

If you are set to be among the masses on the motorways, it’s important to take a moment in your holiday preparations to check the condition of your tyres and help prevent any added stress or potential breakdowns during your journey.

Here’s our top tips on how to keep your tyres, yourself and your passengers safe this bank holiday:

• Look over your tyres for any cuts, bulges or signs of wear
• Adjust your tyre pressure levels accordingly to account for the amount of luggage and passengers you’re carrying. Different vehicles require different tyre pressures – you can find out what yours should be by checking either in your handbook, petrol cap or on the inside of the drivers door
• If you have a spare tyre, don’t forget to check this over for signs of wear or damage
• Check your tread depth – the minimum should be 1.6mm as required by law. To do so, place a 20p coin inside the main grooves of the tread. If you can’t see the raised outer rim on the coin and the words TWENTY PENCE, then you have sufficient tread
