So it turns out that keeping your car tyres pressurised may not save fuel, despite the claims that it does. But it's still worth doing because it is safer and it extends the life of the tyre. Britain discards around 38 million tyres per year, and it's got to be a good thing to try to keep that figure as low as possible.
There are some great products available made from recycled tyres. Some of my favourites are these mousemats, coasters and pencil cases from Remarkable.

One of the ways we can keep tyres running safely for longer is to avoid hard braking as much as possible.
Another thing which wears them out quickly is if the wheels aren't correctly balanced.
Even if we didn't care about "green" issues, it's smart to look after your tyres because a) they may save your life and b) they'll certainly save you money.
You're absolutely right, Geri.
