How Stephen works at Tyres HQ

Stephen looks over the maintenance and servicing guides as someone who has run a garage for years. He checks the advice is realistic for an ordinary driver to follow at home, and that anything better left to a professional is flagged as such rather than glossed over.

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.
