Dangerous part-worn tyre sales failings ‘widespread’ – TyreSafe
The state of part-worn tyre retail in the UK looks more perilous than ever for motorists after a multi-agency investigation in Preston revealed a disturbing reality about the state of pre-used products being fitted to cars. None of the tyres inspected met the legal standards required for sale in the UK, after Lancashire County Council Trading Standards, TyreSafe, and Lancashire Constabulary coordinated an operation sampling three garages in Preston selling part-worn tyres. Inspectors said that of the 30 tyres assessed, none complied with the Motor Vehicle Tyres (Safety) Regulations 1994.
