Freely available on the TIF web-site (tyreindustryfederation.co.uk) the downloadable resource gives an overview of the tyre industry from manufacture to recycling and from road safety to lifecycle impact. Filled with information from authoritative sources the Factbook provides a concise and easily accessible insight into the many dimensions of the UK tyre industry.

Aimed at Government, journalists, or anyone with an interest in learning more about the UK tyre industry, members of the tyre trade will also find useful information to complement their existing knowledge.

 TIF Chairman David Seward said “The TIF Factbook is an important step forward in improving understanding of our industry for those who need or wish to learn more”.

The Tyre Industry Federation provides a common platform for the British Tyre Manufacturers’ Association, the Imported Tyre Manufacturers’ Association, the National Tyre Distributors Association, the Retread Manufacturers Association and the Tyre Recovery Association.

Many have been found to be not fit for purpose and in some cases dangerous. TIF only endorses the use of tyres that are safe and legal for road use.

There’s more to winter tyres than chunky tread patterns. Special rubber compounds give better grip when temperatures fall below 7⁰C. On snow, winter tyres marked give up to 3 times the traction of normal tyres. TIF recommends winter tyres for increased safety and reliability throughout the winter season.
