Tyre Pressure Importance
Correct air pressure in a tyre helps to distribute the weight of your vehicle evenly across the tyre's tread pattern, so that the tyre – and the vehicle itself – is at its most stable.
Correct air pressure in a tyre helps to distribute the weight of your vehicle evenly across the tyre's tread pattern, so that the tyre – and the vehicle itself – is at its most stable. When a tyre is over- or under-inflated, it loses stability, negatively affecting handling, cornering and stopping.
Eventually the tyre will also start to wear unevenly and you're heading for trouble. Proper tire pressure ensures optimal fuel efficiency, extends tire life, and most importantly, keeps you safe on the road.
Check your tire pressure regularly, especially before long trips. The recommended pressure is usually found on a sticker inside the driver's door or in your vehicle's manual.
