How Gordon works at Tyres HQ

Safety guidance needs careful scope: a car rule is not automatically a rule for every commercial vehicle or motorcycle. Relevant official guidance should take precedence over a familiar but inaccurate shorthand.

Our editorial standards distinguish general guidance from an inspection or physical tyre test. A useful claim needs the right source and context, and a revision should also update the summary and FAQs where the same point appears.

You can read how this works in our editorial guidelines and in how we review tyres. Spotted something that looks wrong? Our corrections policy explains how to tell us.
