used tyre for their motor, saying although a used car tyre may appear to be a great deal, if a

digits, you can check the week and year that the tyre was manufactured. It is wise to purchase
the newest used tyres possible as rubber will perish over time, resulting in dangerous cracks.
Regarding the outside of the tyre, ensure that there are no chips or cracks. Perished tyres are
prone to cracking, and these are not safe on the road.
Make sure that the supplier provides you with a tyre that is the correct size for your vehicle, and
where possible we advise asking to see the inside of the tyres before they are fitted. The reason
for this is peace of mind that there are no patches where previous punctures have been
repaired. Being able to see the inside of the tyre will also allow you to see if there is any
damage caused by the rims where a tyre may have been driven for extended periods with too
little air. Damage caused by incorrectly inflated tyres means that these tyres are a write off and
should not be used again on a vehicle. For more information, visit us at-www.selectautomarts.com or contact us at-93560 22555
