Welcome to TyreSafe, the UK’s leading authority on tyre safety.
TyreSafe, a registered charity since 2016, was established in 2006 with a clear aim: to reduce tyre-related incidents on Britain’s roads. We achieve this by enhancing road users’ awareness of crucial tyre maintenance and highlighting the severe dangers posed by illegal or poorly maintained tyres.
Our dedication has been recognised with two prestigious Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards, most recently in 2024. The need for our work is stark: on average over the last five years, 163 people are killed or seriously injured in incidents related to ‘defective tyres’. The 2025 figure of 201 tyre-related KSIs is especially alarming, as it is up 19% year-on-year and 38 higher than the 5-year average. In addition over 6 million UK tyres annually have illegal tread!
Our vision is to eliminate harm to road users due to illegal or poorly maintained tyres. We empower drivers through education and actively campaign for essential policy changes. Join us and over 260 other organisations in making Britain’s roads safer.
We are proud that the TyreSafe programme has been explicitly named in the Government’s 2026 Road Safety Strategy, where we will inform the development of a new National Work-Related Road Safety Charter to reduce risk for those who drive for work.
