Tyre pressures

Ensuring your tyres are inflated properly will extend your tyres life span, ensure they are safe to use and will also reduce fuel consumption.

What is the right tyre pressure?

Your vehicle manufacturer will specify what pressures the tyres should be inflated to, you can find the recommended pressures in your vehicle hand book. It is your responsibility that the recommended pressures are maintained. We therefore recommend checking your tyres pressures on a regular basis.

The main reason you must keep tyres to the recommended pressures is driving safety. Under inflated tyres can result in over heating and over inflated tyres can adversely effect vehicle handling.

Further more over inflated tyres will suffer more wear and will therefore will not last as long. Also under inflated tyres increase resistance meaning that more fuel is needed to maintain speed.
