Wheel alignment equipment supplier Pro-Align has joined tyre industry safety awareness group TyreSafe.

Pro-Align will support TyreSafe’s campaigns, which raise awareness about the dangers associated with defective and illegal tyres. They will also provide specialist knowledge related to wheel alignment issues.

"We are delighted that Pro-Align has taken the decision to become a TyreSafe member and support our efforts in improving road safety," said Stuart Jackson, chairman of TyreSafe.

"Having experts in the field of wheel alignment will be a valuable addition to the group as it is such an important element of vehicle safety and one which many drivers do not understand properly."

Tyresafe’s membership now includes vehicle manufacturers, tyre manufacturers retailers, wholesalers, and various workshop equipment suppliers.

"We believe that joining TyreSafe is an effective way to reinforce the message, especially with the recent cuts we've seen in Government road safety programmes.” Added Paul Beaurain, MD at Pro-Align.
