TYRE SAFETY MONTH 2018 - Check Your Tyre Pressure!

With Tyre Safety Month 2018 officially here we have been talking about how important it is to check the tread on your tyres using the 20p test. Something that is equally as important is checking your Tyre Pressure.

Having the correct pressure in your tyres ensures the vehicle handles as it should. As well as improving the handling, if you have the correct pressure in your tyres this also improves the fuel consumption.

Another issue that can arise from having incorrect pressure in your tyres is uneven wear, if they are under inflated your tyres will wear heavily on the outer edges. However if the tyres are over inflated then you will see wear on the centre of the tread.

The car manufacturer will typically display the correct pressures in the door shut or filler cap but they can always be found in the owner's manual. Keep in mind that there will be two pressures shown, one for normal loads and the other for when fully laden.
