Tyre checks could help protect cheap modified car insurance

Drivers keen to protect their cheap modified car insurance premiums may be well advised to ensure their tyres are properly pumped up.

According to TyreSafe, motorists should be checking pressure levels at least once a month.

It explained that when these important car parts do not contain enough air, the contact patch with the road grows.

The group pointed out this increases drag and can place an auto's occupants in danger.

It also advised there are financial benefits to checking and adjusting the air in tyres on a regular basis.

The organisation cited research that found fuel consumption is significantly improved when a manufacturer's recommended pressure levels are adhered to.

Chairman Stuart Jackson commented: "Making sure that tyres are correctly inflated costs nothing yet can save motorists significant sums of money."

Meanwhile, the group previously urged people to be cautious when buying car parts online.

It claimed drivers should ensure they purchase tyres that are suitable for their specific vehicle.
