TyreSafe has launched a new road safety campaign targeting horse owners, riders, and transporters. The road safety charity describes the new campaign, which was filmed on location at Solihull Riding Club and at Lancashire Constabulary's Mounted Division HQ, as its first-ever equine tyre safety campaign, equating the safety of vehicles’ rubber with animal safety. Developed in conjunction with the British Horse Society and supported by The Pony Club, the campaign provides a complete toolkit of resources, including a step-by-step guide, a downloadable leaflet, an educational video (see below), and shareable social media assets. The campaign responds to a sharp increase in the number of towing-related incidents in 2024.

Chunky, aggressive tyres make 4x4s and pick-ups look tougher but aren’t exactly ideal for everyday road use. In addition to increasing fuel consumption and compromising both braking distances and cornering grip, they make the driving experience louder.

But which all-terrain (AT) tyres strike the best balance for drivers who want both off-road ability and road use?

Davanti Tyres will remain the Official Tyre Partner of Everton Football Club in a multi-year deal. The new agreement extends a relationship dating back to 2017, making the UK-headquartered tyre brand one of the Merseyside club’s longest-standing commercial partners.

The Pirelli P Zero PZ5 has won a second independent tyre test, beating eight other products in the bestselling 225/40 R18 92Y XL size on the 2025 Auto Express summer tyre test. Launched this year, the test confirmed the market-leading performance of the Pirelli flagship tyre, which led to its debut test win in Tyre Reviews’ performance tyre test and its top ranking in WhatTyre’s 2025 Supersports Tyre of the Year Award. The tyres were tested on a Volkswagen Golf GTI in a range of wet and dry conditions.
