IHE and Tyresafe announce partnership

  • Thursday March 20, 2025

A new partnership between the IHE and TyreSafe will pave the way for joint initiatives, educational campaigns and resources aimed at reducing incidents caused by tyre neglect.

The partnership represents a shared commitment to improving road safety and understanding that legal, safe, and well-maintained tyres are integral to delivering a safe system approach. By partnering with the IHE, TyreSafe will extend its reach to professionals in the sector, providing educational resources, tyre safety support and a platform to champion critical safety messages.

Together, TyreSafe and the IHE aim to influence the industry and raise awareness about tyre maintenance and its impact on safety for all road users – whether driving for work or leisure. The partnership also supports TyreSafe’s ongoing strategy to work within the safe system framework and help all road users understand the importance of driving or riding on legal and appropriately maintained tyres.

TyreSafe chair Stuart Lovatt said: ‘This partnership with the Institute of Highway Engineers is a pivotal step in our mission to improve road safety. ‘By working with the IHE, we can provide their members with the tools, knowledge and resources needed to continue to build the case for road improvement schemes. ‘Together, we are making strides toward safer roads for everyone.’ Lyle Andrew added: ‘The IHE is delighted to partner with TyreSafe to promote tyre safety as an essential aspect of professional highway practice.

‘With TyreSafe’s expertise and  resources, we can better equip our members to lead by example and make a tangible difference in reducing tyre-related incidents on our roads and continue to implement ever safer road infrastructure across the UK.’
