Correct tyre pressures on your vehicle are an essential and is highly
recommended
that you check your vehicles tyre pressures once a month. By performing these
simple checks and ensuring your tyres are kept to the correct pressure this
will help extend the life of your tyre, improve the safety of your vehicle
and also improve on fuel consumption. Tyre pressure is measured in PSI or
BAR pressure.

Below shows examples of correctly inflated tyres opposed to incorrect inflated tyres when they are in contact with the road. You will see that the correct tyre inflation is in contact with the road a great deal less. This will lead to increased vehicle safety as under or over-inflated tyres can over heat, increased cost-efficiency as under-inflated tyres will need to be replaced more often and increased car performance as correct inflation of tyres will lead to improved car handling.

It is important that you check your tyre pressures regularly. We recommend that you check at least once a month if not more. It is not always visible that air is escaping the tyres. This tends to happen more in the warmer months of the year. You would need a tyre pressure gauge to check your tyre pressure or alternatively most garages will have a free tyre pressure service available. Please note that tyre pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold so we would advise checking tyre pressures 1 hour after driving.
Tyre pressures should be set in accordance to your cars owners handbook or alternatively use a tyre pressure search above.
