Once again, tyre safety has been brought to the fore by a very serious incident which thankfully ended well in this case.
One Show presenter and stand-up comedian Jason Manford was left feeling very lucky, after he managed to walk away unscathed from a double tyre blow out on the M6 motorway.
Jason was travelling to a gig in Swindon in the fast lane at around 70mph when the incident happened.
Both tyres on the driver’s side blew out leaving the driver fighting for control, he managed to steer the car safely through two lanes of traffic and stop on the hard shoulder.
Being over inflated can cause poor vehicle handling and under inflated can cause them to over heat and can make the tyres wear too quickly.
