Simple ways to look after your car and get ready for your next trip.
Check your tyres and winter equipment before the roads turn slippery.
TCS recommends at least 4 mm of tread on tyres used in winter. Make sure they are suitable for the conditions along your route.
Keep a scraper, snow brush and gloves in the car. Leave extra space and adjust your speed on snow and ice.
Check tyre pressure when the tyres are cold and use the manufacturer’s recommended values.
TCS advises checking monthly, including the spare if you have one. The values are usually in the handbook, on a door pillar or near the fuel flap.
If the vehicle specifies different values for different loads, use those for your trip. Inspect the tread while you are there.
