What is tyre pressure?nnSimply put, tyre pressure is a measure of how much air is in your tyre, and this is measured in either BAR pressure or pounds per square inchnnWhy is tyre pressure important?nnEveryday vehicle use will naturally reduce tyre pressure over time. While this is normal, car owners should keep on top of this by regularly checking their tyre pressure. Likewise, motorists should also keep assess when inflating tyres of whether their tyres are over-inflated, too. Both under-inflated and over-inflated tyres can affect how much of the tyre is in contact with the road – this, in turn, will influence safety, performance, longevity and fuel efficiency.nn nThe benefits of maintaining the correct tyre pressure include: n • Improves tyre performance n • Enhances vehicle safetyn • Extends the life of your tyresn • Decreases the risk of blow-outs n • Increases fuel efficiencynn nIt’s therefore paramount that you’re keeping tyre pressure in line with the recommended figures for your specific vehicle.n nHow do you measure tyre pressure?nn • Tyre pressure should be checked once a month. n • To get an accurate reading, check it only when your tyres are cold nn not immediately after being driven. n • It’s thought that warmer weather can decrease tyre pressure more rapidly, so make sure to check more regularly during the summer months.n n• The ideal tyre pressure is determined on a case-by-case basis, and will depend entirely on the make and model of your vehicle, alloys used, load carried, and typical passenger usage – front and rear tyres may also perform better at slightly different pressures to each other. This information can be found by a number of means, including the vehicle manual, inside your fuel cap, on the inner door frame or simply by contacting your vehicle manufacturer. n • Use a tyre pressure gauge to check the pressure, and carefully follow the instrument’s instructions. Many modern cars also have a sensor installed called a TPMS which alerts the driver to the decreasing or low tyre pressure.nn nn nOur team is committed to keeping your vehicle in prime health, thanks to our fast and efficient service.
