When did you last check your tyres?

CHECK YOUR TYRE PRESSURE EVERY MONTH

Correct tyre pressure reduces the risk of losing control of your vehicle. It also protects your tyres from premature wear and irreversible damage to the internal construction. Tyre pressure can drop due to small perforations, the natural escape of air through the tyre's components, or even from a decrease in ambient temperatures. 

Check the pressure of your tyres, including your spare, monthly and before any long journey, preferably when your tyres are cold (not having run for at least 2 hours or having run for less than 2 miles at low speed). If they are not checked in this cold condition, add 4 to 5 PSI (0.3 bar) to the recommended pressure, but never deflate a hot tyre.  It's important to check the pressure once a month, because:

Under or over inflation can reduce the life of your tyres, affect their performance and increase the risk of damage.Correct tyre pressure will even save fuel

The recommended tyre pressure can be found:

• in the user manual of your vehicle
• or on a label on the door or door frame of the vehicle
• or on the inside of the fuel flap                                                             

NOTE: The recommended tyre pressure is NOT located on the tyre. The inflation pressure shown on the tyre sidewall is the maximum tyre inflation pressure.
