With the correct pressure you can extend the life of your tyre, improve your fuel efficiency and make your vehicle safer on the road. Tyre pressure is measured by the amount of air that is pumped into the inner lining of your tyres.
Different vehicles require different tyre pressure. It is the drivers responsability to ensure that tyre pressures are checked on a regular basis.
Maintaining correct Tyre Pressures
There are three main reasons why maintaining the right tyre pressure is important.
- Safety. Tyres that are under inflated can overheat; and over inflated tyres can lead to poor vehicle handling on the road.
- Economy. Even with one tyre under pressure you can not only damage that tyre but also the other tyres, meaning that you would have to replace them on a more regular basis. WIth a low tyre pressure your vehicle has more resistance on the road, meaning that more fuel is required to acheive the same speeds.
- The environment. Having the correct tyre pressures helps to maintain optimum fuel efficiency. This means that you emit lower Co2 emissions which is good for the environment.
