Car Ownership

Under pressure

Checking your tyre pressures should be as commonplace as adding fuel to your car. Check the tyre inflation pressure regularly and correct it as needed: at least twice a month and before any long trips on the road.

Overinflation or underinflation can reduce tyre life, adversely affect vehicle handling, and lead to sudden tyre failure. This could result in loss of vehicle control and potential injury. If you fail to observe this precaution, you may be driving on underinflated tyres, which may not only compromise your vehicle's driving stability but also lead to tyre damage and the risk of an accident. This risk is much higher on hot days and when driving for long periods at high speeds.
