A POLICE clampdown on motorists with bald tyres on their cars is being run between September 17-21 by Greater Manchester Police.

And to help drivers worried about their tyres, the Tyre Industry Council and Michelin are staging a tyre clinic at the Birch Service area on the M62 tomorrow.

TIC and Michelin experts will be carrying out free safety checks, doing inspections including tyre pressures and tread depth and wear.
