How Gordon works at Tyres HQ

Gordon checks every guide that touches safety, the MOT or the law against current UK rules. Tread limits, load ratings, what passes and what fails: a wrong legal point is the kind of mistake that matters most, so these guides do not publish until he has confirmed them.

Every guide on Tyres HQ goes through two people before it is published: a subject specialist who reviews the advice against real-world experience, and our managing editor who checks every fact, figure and tyre size against its source. We work from official UK sources and independent tyre tests, and never publish a number we cannot stand behind.

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.
