Part worn tyres
Buying 2nd hand tyres may seem like your saving money, however several reports/investigations undertaken within the UK have uncovered some terrifying facts.
At AG Services, any tyres we take off which may have some legal life left in them, we ensure they will certainly not be fit to go back out onto the road and are disposed of in the correct manner. So as tempting as it may be, don't ask!!!
Still unsure?
