Motorcycle Insurance

Motorbike riders in the UK may find that they are putting their lives at risk every time they head onto the road with tyres that are not properly inflated.

TyreSafe has commented that the number of motorists taking trips with over-inflated wheels attached to their vehicles is "significant".

It added that close to 75 per cent of drivers are also taking to the road with tyres that are under proper requirements.

Riders may find that they compromise their bike insurance policies if they are involved in an accident due to the inflation of their tyres.

This comes as the group runs tyre safety month during October, where it is offering motorists the chance to get their vehicles looked at by people in the know.

"Motorists can have free tyre safety and pressure checks at participating tyre retailers or VW or Kia dealerships. For further information and tyre safety advice and leaflets log on to the TyreSafe website," the firm stated.

TyreSafe is an organisation which runs for no profit. The group was previously known as the Tyre Industry Council.
