Nature’s fine art of low water resistance

This article explains how to fit them, and why it matters.

It’s important that you know how to check your tyres’ tread depth. After all, the tread depth affects handling and provides grip with the road surface. The deeper it is, the more grip you’ll have.

Always keep tyre changing equipment or a tyre repair kit in your car. They could provide valuable temporary help until you can get to your local Uniroyal dealer. At the very least you should carry:

1. A spare tyre

2. A jack

3. A wheel wrench with extension bar

4. A locking wheel-nut adapter (if appropriate)

5. A tyre repair kit

6. Your vehicle’s handbook
