Tyre Pressure Checks

Maintaining the correct tyre pressure is crucial for ensuring optimal tyre performance. It helps prolong tyre life, improves fuel efficiency, enhances vehicle handling, and prevents accidents and breakdowns.

Incorrect tyre pressure can lead to excessive deflection of the tyre sidewalls, causing distortion of the tyre contact patch and irregular tyre wear. It can also increase temperature build-up, leading to potential component fatigue and sudden tyre failure.

Tyres should always be inflated to the pressure specified by the Vehicle Tyre Placard.

An expert from Jim’s Mobile Tyres can help advise you on the right tyre pressure for these unique circumstances, or again, check your Vehicle Tyre Placard.
