AlignMyCar.co.uk, is getting behind October’s Tyre Safety Month in a bid to help raise drivers’ awareness about keeping safe on the roads this winter.

Cars suffering from misalignment often experience poor handling, with gross misalignment causing vehicle pull or drift issues and a crooked steering wheel. This is not only unnerving and a distraction for drivers, but in the event of emergency action being required, it can also compromise their safety on the road.

Many safety conscious motorists will be changing their tyres in readiness for winter, but they should remember that for maximum safety, maximum tyre life, and motoring cost savings, they should have their alignment checked as well. In fact, even if drivers aren’t changing tyres, it is advisable to have a proper four wheel alignment check at least once a year or every 12-15,000 miles.”
