Do you know how to read your correct Tyre Size?

On the Arrive Alive Website we share much information on Tyre Safety. We have also offered some General Advice on Tyre Maintenance:

• Tyres, sizes speed / load ratings must conform to the specifications in the Vehicle Owner’s Manual.
• Check tyres and rims for any accidental damage after impacting with potholes/curb stones or other obstacles in the road. 
• Tyres, brakes, shock absorbers and rims should always be checked when servicing the vehicle.
• Vehicle wheel alignment should be tested at regular intervals to obtain even tread wear and maximum service life.
• No matter how good your car, or its tyres, this is not justification for breaking speed limits. If a tyre burst, do not apply the brakes; rather use the momentum and gears to slow down the vehicle. A sudden change in direction or braking will result in loss of control over the vehicle. Rather lose one rim than your car and probably your life! 
• Tyre rotation is a very contentious area, with some companies recommending it, other companies saying nothing, and BMW for one advising against it. Rotating the tyres regularly evens out the wear, but eventually all the tyres will have to be replaced at the same time, which is expensive.
