While some may not realize their importance, tyres play an important part in the suspension systems of caravans, and as the only part of the caravan touching the road surface, tyres impact braking, going around tight curves, accelerating, and the general stability of the combo. Tyres that are not maintained properly are more susceptible to wearing out early and failure that can cause some serious accidents. On top of safety issues and premature wear, tyres that are not properly maintained can result in increased fuel and running expenses.

At tyresafe.org, caravan owners can access information on tyres that will help them to be safer, save money and save wear and tear on their tyres. Some of the information provided by TyreSafe includes tips on proper tyre pressure, types of tyres, tread issues, proper loading, nose weight, wintertime storage, and wear and damage. Additionally, practical advice is given on carrying out a proper safety check before taking the caravan out on the road, which will help caravan owners to identify and prevent tyre related problems. There is also a section that deals with tyre pressure when towing vehicles, an important safety issue when one has a caravan in tow. In addition to the special pages on the website, also available is a free, downloadable pamphlet on tyre safety.
