CirencesterScene Magazine -Supporting Local Businesses Motoring with M.A.P.S.


by Jonathan Wills Tyre Wear and Topping Up Tips As the darkening autumn nights advance upon us and we saygoodbye to the long daysof-apretty wetat times -summer, itistime to thinkabout the additional dangersthatthe forthcoming winterbrings upon the motorist. Not only extrahoursofdarkness, but leaves and debris blown onto


the roads,


blinding lowsunsets and alater morning sunrise glinting off wetroads. Plus the frost, fog, ice etc, and of course, other road usersnot pay- ing attention or sim- ply making human errors.


As wondrousas the modern motor car iswith its bi-xe- non lights, Iphone connectivity, park assistand the rest, one thing thathas not changed at all is thatall cars are connected to planet earth via four bits of rub- ber with each contact area not much bigger than the


palm of your hand. Aproblemwith modern motor cars is theyare normallyshod with very wide, lowprofile tyres which are great forsharp handling. But it does mean the inner edgeofthe tyre, even when on full steering lock is seldom seen.


Astark reminder of howdifferentboth edges of the same tyre can be was brought home tome asI was working on acar recently.The first image shows the tyre when fitted to the vehicle looking worn but not particularly dangerous. The second image shows the tyreoffthe car, and it is clearly illegal and very dan- gerous. It is alwaysprudent to check your tyres regu- larly forroad worthiness, check tread depth, dam- age

cuts and pressures regular- ly as run flattyres canlook fine when theyare not.


It is also worth checking vehicle fluidlevelsmore


regularly especially washer fluid asyou use it more this time of year on muddy Cotswold roads and you can be fined if found to have aempty washer bottle! If unsure anygarageshould oblige and help. It’s surprising what aprofessional pair of eyes can spot!
