Motorcycle Crash Helmets Cut Risk from Tyre Misalignment
Motorcycle Crash Helmets Cut Risk from Tyre Misalignment
Potholes have been found to cause motor vehicle tyres to become misaligned making them less efficient and risk motorcyclist safety. Find out how motorcycle crash helmets, such as the halo helmet could protect you in an accident.
It is estimated that tyre/wheel misalignment could cost UK motorists up to £100 million in additional fuel costs, research by Micheldever/Protyre showed.
They claim that wheels in this state require more energy to turn at the same speed, increasing fuel consumption by 3 to 3.5 percent – an unnecessary cost adding to the burden many motorists are feeling following the VAT raise and high fuel costs.
The recent cold snap is likely to have made this situation more likely to occur due to the large amount of potholes created by freezing temperatures.
This increases the likelihood of vehicles bumping into curbs due to the slippery road surfaces – the knocks causing the wheels to become misaligned and even damaging suspension.

If you are worried about how the state of the road may impact your motorcycle crash helmets, then investigate a Halo Helmet from ThermaHelm.
The freezing technology aims to reduce the rider’s head from swelling following a crash, so the likelihood of brain damage is decreased.

“UK roads and repairs have not recovered totally from the snow and freezing winter weather of 2009/10,” said Simon Hiorns, Micheldever/Protyre retail director.
“Potholes pose a very real safety threat to road users as well as spelling premature replacement cost for replacing tyres.”
Tyre wear is also increased if misaligned which not only decreases fuel efficiency but also means the motorist has to replace the tyres more often, increasing their motoring costs.
The handling of a motorbike can be compromised too which can impose safety risks.
