Tyre Awareness And Safety

Tyres are the only point of contact between a car and the road, and yet their importance to a car’s safety and fuel economy is easily overlooked. ‘Tyre Awareness Week’ aims to get Kiwis thinking more about their tyres, and know how to look after them. This site offers a range of information and actionable steps you can take to maintain your grip on the road and keep you and your family safe.

A range of organisations have come together to encourage greater tyre awareness, from government agencies to the motoring industry to the AA, with the aim of helping Kiwi motorists stay safer and be more fuel efficient on the road.

The inaugural New Zealand Tyre Awareness Week was a great success, and helped spread the message and support public awareness of the importance of tyres.  We even managed to get mentioned on the Paul Henry show.

Thanks for everyone for getting involved. Feel free to browse through the site, as we’ve added some photos, information and updates specific to Tyre Awareness Week, and come back from time to time as we prepare to get ready to run Tyre Awareness Week again
