The end of May / beginning of June will see two bank holidays weekends respectively for UK (May 28th) and Ireland (June 4th). As the weather gets warmer, it’s very likely that the roads will be quite busy. If you are planning a getaway with the car, at home or abroad, there are some simple car safety checks to make before you head off, that could save you a lot of trouble and help keep your family safe.

Give the interior a clean

The majority of motorists are not particularly careful about keeping their cars very clean – inside or out. A recent survey of 2,000 motorists showed that one in five tidy the inside of their car just once a year, generally ahead of an NCT or garage visit. Cleaning the inside of your car is not just for aesthetic reasons, but for safety too. For example, an empty can, bottle or other piece of rubbish rolling under the brake pedal could have very serious consequences.

Check the tyres

Having shoddy tyres in bad condition can lead to trouble, or even accidents. After all, tyres are your only point of contact with the road. So the next time you fill up your car with fuel, check both the air pressure and the tread depth of all tyres, including the spare wheel. If in doubt, take your car to your nearest garage to have them professionally checked.

Check the windscreen wipers

On holiday, the weather might not go according to plan. To be ready for those sudden, heavy showers, check your car’s wiper blades. Check that the rubber blade hasn’t worn down or peeled away from its base. If the wipers are not clearing rain away completely, replace them before you set off.

Check the lights

Driving with defective lights is illegal, because of the danger it poses to you and to other road users. So before you head off, ask a family member or friend to walk around your car as you switch on the side lights, fog lamps, reversing lights, headlights, operate the main beam and then check the indicators and brake lights. If you are travelling to the continent, don’t forget to use headlamp converter stickers so that your headlights don’t dazzle oncoming traffic.

We hope you enjoy your bank holiday weekend in the UK, Ireland or abroad. If you are looking for best value tyres combining performance and safety, look no further than Zeetex tyres. You can find more info at zeetextyres.co.uk.

For many drivers, the summer months are a great opportunity to enjoy driving, but many often wonder when to switch change from winter tyres to summer tyres? After all, tyres for winter and summer are designed with different conditions in mind, so you need to understand these factors so you know when to change tyre options.

If you want to know when to change from winter tyres to summer tyres, there are numerous things you can do. First, however, you should observe the condition of your tyres. This way, you can identify if it’s time to replace tyres before you fit them to your vehicle.

Summer tyres should be fitted when the average 24-hour temperature rises above 7°C. This, of course, is a general principle for drivers want to change tyre. It is hard to determine a specific date, as the weather in late winter, as well as early spring, can be very variable. Depending on your local weather climate, you could replace tyres at the start of March, or perhaps the end of April.

Similarly, we also do not recommend switching to summer tyres just because the weather has risen above 7°C for a couple of days. It is more sensible to wait until the weather stabilises – at least for a week or two – before replacing tyres for summer products. This reduces the likelihood of compromising your safety on the road and ensures you don’t swap out your tyres due to an unusual spike in the temperature.

If you are looking for high-quality summer tyres at an affordable price, Zeetex tyres are very popular with many motorists. Particularly, you should check out Zeetex HP 2000vfm.

Its reinforced design gives more resistance and wide transverse grooves helps in overall aerodynamics.

Irish Drift Championship is one of the historic and leading professional drifting series in Ireland which is held every year. It is also regarded as the world’s best championship series considering various parameters like popularity, drifter’s talent, live viewership and a roaring support from the audience and petrol heads around Ireland.

The showdown is between the Irish Drift Championship and Irish Rallycross Championship which is also place at Mondello Park April 21-22nd 2018. The Mondello Park is Ireland’s only international motorsport venue which is approximately 30 miles (48 km) from Dublin city centre, located in Caragh, County Kildare off the R409 regional road. It also boasts having 2 international circuits, a national and a short circuit for motorsports & drifting.

Over 200 competitors, will compete against each other on two challenging circuits. Among the competitors is Paul Kennedy, the drifter from Co Longford that we proudly support as Zeetex Ireland.

Paul would mount Zeetex HP 1000 tyres from the high-performance series of Zeetex product range and there is a reason for that, here is an excerpt from one of the recent chit chats we had with him at an exclusive pep talk with Zeetex Ireland:

“I tried a couple of high-end brands and I wasn’t happy with them. When the tyres got hot the tyre would start peeling off. This doesn’t happen with ZEETEX tyres. Also with standard tyre you might get 4-6 laps, while with ZEETEX tyres you might get up to 10 laps”.

Our best wishes to Paul for the upcoming championship and wishing him good luck. If you are close by and want to experience the adrenaline rush pumping from inside sitting at the edges of the seats and check out the tickets at the Mondello Park website. Limited tickets will also be available at the gate at the event, come and let’s have fun!

Good tyres are in general regarded expensive, but in reality they don’t need to be expensive. The majority of people cannot afford expensive tyres needing  to be replaced every 2 years. At the same time saving a few pounds and getting cheap tyres could get you in trouble as you would need to be driving with these tyres for the next two years.

So, the question is finding the tyre that suits your budget range and gives you the much-required safety, comfort and durability. As a consumer, we know tyre as a rubber material or compound mix with stylised groove patterns, but there is a lot more to it. The improvement in tyre technology is subtle, with a lot of complex roots in it.  

There are wallet-friendly brands that cater for the economy segment. Before making a purchase, look for tyres in their price range and consider the following criteria:

Better Handling: This is an uncompromisable quality of a good tyre. While taking a tyre test, make sure the tyre gives you a good control on the road, in cornering, dry & wet conditions. Safety is very important and picking a cheap tyre should not put your safety at risk.

Fuel Consumption: A good tyre needs to give you better mileage, if not considerable one. If you think you are saving some pennies by compromising on the quality then you will be spending much more on fuel for the entire life of the tyre.

Noise Level: The tyres in general create vibrations and noise while driving but a comfortable noise level should be low. Check for the DB ratings on the tyre label before you make the purchase.

Braking Distance: The lesser the braking distance the safer your life. It is okay to spend some extra pounds on this because safety cannot be compromised.

A great value tyre is Zeetex HP 2000 vfm Ultra-silent drive. Zeetex HP2000 VFM is a model for drivers who appreciate a dynamic and unrestricted driving style. Its reinforced design is more resistant than standard models of a similar class. The designers chose the advanced asymmetric tread system that is ideal for fast driving. Wide transverse incisions help the tyre to maintain its flexibility.

The tyre has four wide water evacuation grooves which quickly remove excess of water from the front of the tyre. Water, mud or other impurities are dangerous for this tyre and the extended structure prevents blocking of the channels, protecting the car against aquaplaning.

The tyre is classified as “B” for its wet performance on the European label. This confirms that it is has exceptionally short braking distances on water-covered roads and excellent grip.

Zeetex is an international brand, designed to deliver superior performance at economical rates. Check out our product range and contact us to place order. Happy riding with Zeetex!

In the UK and Ireland March is a month dedicated to women with both Mother’s Day and International Women’s Day occurring on this month. For the occasion, we wanted to take a closer look at men and women’s driving patterns and behaviours and we found out something very interesting.

Research shows women are more competent than men behind the wheel.Regular drivers, especially young ones, are more likely to be distracted while driving, the study found. Older women were much better at controlling their distractions and paying attention to the road ahead. Distraction is estimated to be responsible for an eighth of all road accidents.

The research, carried out by Norwegian scientists, looked at how personal traits such as age, gender and personality affect driver distraction. According to the said research, 12% of accidents are caused by distraction.

The survey found out that young men were the most prone to distraction along with regular drivers and those with neurotic or extroverted personalities. But older women and those who felt that they could control their distracted behaviour were less likely to report a distraction, according to the study published in Frontiers in Psychology.

In other tests from a 2015 research, men and women conformed to gender stereotypes – with men more likely to take risks, drive too close to the car in front, cut corners, go through lights on amber or talk and text at the wheel. By contrast, women are more likely to be courteous and considerate, take care when approaching potential hazards, use their mirrors correctly and stop at lights when they turn amber.

Regardless of what survey and researches about gender driving behavior say, make no mistake when it comes to choosing the perfect tyre for your journey and go with ZEETEX tyres. We have a wide array of tyres suiting all vehicles including passenger cars, SUV / 4×4, Light Trucks and Trucks and Bus. You can check our models and patterns at https://zeetextyres.co.uk/tyres/

Buying the right tyres for your SUV or 4×4 is paramount. To choose the tyres you need, you first need to figure out what specification you require:

• Speed rating;
• Load rating;
• Size;
• Construction; and
• Tread pattern.

While all of the above are important factors in the buying of tyres for your pickup truck, SUV or 4×4, in this article we will focus on the tread pattern.

Generally speaking, there are three main choices; road, all-terrain and mud tyre. The difference is the size of the tread blocks and spacing.

Depending on where you are planning on driving your vehicle most of the times, you will need accordingly-suitable tyres:

On occasional dirt roads: stock tyres will be just fine.

Mostly on dirt roads: The tread pattern is less important, but a good all-terrain would definitely offer better handling and grip than a road pattern tyre. You don’t need a mud terrain.

Off-road – mud, hills, rocks and the like: Here the tread pattern becomes more important depending on the duration and difficulty of the offroad drive.

Remote touring: At least an all-terrain pattern as you’ll need to move from many long stretches of bitumen to dirt roads to offroad as you move around. Take also a second spare tyre for these trips.

At ZEETEX UK & Ireland we offer a range of 4×4 and SUV tyres that will suit the most sophisticated customer. All our tyres are characterised by reduced noise and enhanced dry grip and steering response, offering good traction on wet conditions.
