Tyre Safety Companion – best app
Auto Express has voted the Tyre Safety Companion, which was released in October 2014 from non-profit tyre safety group TyreSafe, as one of the best motoring apps available now.
TyreSafe aims to provide advice and tips for drivers to ensure safety on the roads. Illegal, defective and under-inflated tyres caused almost 1000 casualties in 2013. TyreSafe aims to reduce this number by providing information to the public to help them keep on top of the maintenance of their tyres and be aware of the dangers.
The Tyre Safety Companion helps them do this by offering a wide range of practical tyre safety advice and tips while on the go. Users can also opt-in for push notifications that will inform the driver to perform routine checks such as checking tread depth or tyre pressure.
You can download the Tyre Safety Companion for free on both Apple’s iTunes and Google’s Play stores.
‘Being named as one of Auto Express’ Best Apps for 2015 is a fantastic accolade,’ comments Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe. ‘It’s important that drivers have easy access to accurate tyre safety advice while they’re out and about, so we’re delighted that this latest innovation has already been identified as a potential life saver.’
There are more apps that will change your driving experience, but the Tyre Safety companion is definitely one of the most practical.
Are your tyres safe?
With all of the bad weather we’ve been experiencing, it might be a good idea to think about getting winter tyres fitted. Winter tyres provide enhanced handling in snow, ice and wet driving conditions.
With winter tyres you will experience:
- Shorter braking distances
- Better grip
- Improved safety
