Safety Tips from Dargle Tyre Service
Your tyres are the only contact you have between you and the road. The shape of a tire's contact patch or "footprint" greatly influences its performance and is dependent on its profile or "aspect ratio". Low profile tires (most performance tires) have a short and wide contact patch that is effective in converting the driver's input into very responsive handling, cornering stability and traction. High profile tires (light truck and most passenger tires) have a loig and narrow contact patch which helps to provide predictable handling, a smooth ride and especially good traction in snow.

Brakes
Your brakes are like tyres, however they ware down unknown to you because you can’t see them. Your braking tends to deteriorate over time. Many people don’t notice this gradual deterioration in performance, leading to safety issues and expensive disc replacements. Have your discs and pads checked when you are having your tyres checked.
Tyre Age
Tyres carry a code on the outer-wall indicating the month and year of manufacture, e.g. 2211. This indicates that the tyre was manufactured during week 22 of the year 2011 (June 2011)
