Garage equipment specialist Straightset and renowned wheel alignment brand Supertracker join forces with TyreSafe to champion tyre safety across the UK.
TyreSafe is delighted to welcome Straightset and Supertracker as new Commercial Supporters, bringing together two established names in the garage equipment industry to support the charity’s mission to improve tyre safety and reduce tyre-related incidents on UK roads.
Straightset, a leading independent garage equipment specialist, and Supertracker, the renowned British manufacturer of wheel alignment equipment, are joining forces to support TyreSafe’s work in raising awareness of the vital role that properly maintained tyres play in road safety.
As a family-run business, Straightset provides a comprehensive range of garage equipment solutions for car and commercial vehicle workshops. Its offering includes tyre changers, wheel balancers, MOT equipment, workbenches and exhaust extraction systems, alongside installation, servicing and maintenance to keep workshops operating safely and efficiently.
Supertracker, owned by Straightset since 2022, is a well-established British brand specialising in wheel alignment equipment. Its range includes laser and computerised wheel aligners, as well as equipment for commercial vehicles. Supertracker also supplies vehicle lifts, including scissor and two-post lifts, supporting garages with essential workshop equipment.

Wheel alignment and tyre maintenance are closely linked, with correct alignment helping to prevent uneven tyre wear and support vehicle safety. By supporting TyreSafe, both brands will help highlight the importance of tyre safety among garages, workshops and the wider motoring public.

We look forward to working with Straightset and Supertracker to raise awareness of tyre safety and encourage road users and businesses to make tyre maintenance a priority.”
