Tyre Industry Federation launches Factbook
The Tyre Industry Federation officially launches its Industry Factbook today.
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
ProMOTe Campaign
The Tyre Industry Federation supports the ProMOTe campaign challenging Government proposals to reduce the frequency of MOT testing. TIF strongly believes that the annual inspection of wearing components on vehicles is a major contributor to the UK's position as world leader in road safety
Winter Tyres – The Motor Insurance Commitment
Motor Insurers recognise that some motorists may wish to fit winter tyres to their cars during the cold weather.
The Association of British Insurers has published a winter tyres agreement.
Part-Worn Tyres
Surveys have seperately shown that up to 90% of part worn tyres on the market are illegal for re-use. 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.
Winter Tyres
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.
