JOHANNESBURG - Are you planning to hit the road for your festive travels this weekend? If so, it's essential to ensure your tyres are in optimal condition before you do.
Tyres are one of the most significant factors contributing to road accidents, and these incidents can have devastating consequences, particularly for children.
