Tyre Pressure Tips

• Check your tyre pressure at least once a month.

• Tyre pressure should be checked against the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended level. This can be found in the vehicle handbook and on a plate which is often located on the driver’s door sill.

• Check the pressure when tyres are cold (i.e. when you have traveled less than five kilometers).

• If you are carrying a full load of passengers or luggage or will be towing a trailer or caravan, tyre pressures should be increased in line with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Details can be found in the handbook.

• Ensure a reliable and accurate pressure gauge is used.

• Check the pressure in all four tyres not forgetting to check the spare tyre as well.

• While checking pressures, give the rest of the tyre a visual inspection. Remove any stones and other objects embedded in the tread. Look out for any bulges, lumps or cuts, or irregular wear.

• If you are unsure on any aspect of tyre pressure or tyre condition then contact us for advice.
