Why Is Correct Tyre Pressure Important?

The right tyre pressure is essential for:

  • Improved Safety: Properly inflated tyres enhance braking performance and road handling.
  • Fuel Efficiency: Correct pressure reduces rolling resistance, helping you save on fuel costs.
  • Extended Tyre Lifespan: Well-maintained pressure prevents uneven tread wear, prolonging tyre life.

Underinflated or overinflated tyres can cause uneven wear, reduced traction, and increased risk of accidents. Regular checks and adjustments can save money and enhance your driving experience.

How to Check Your Tyre Pressure

Knowing and maintaining the correct tyre pressure for your vehicle is straightforward:

  1. Find the Recommended Pressure: Use our "Tyre Pressure by Reg" tool or check your vehicle handbook, driver’s door sill, or fuel cap sticker.
  2. Use a Tyre Pressure Gauge: Available for home use or at most petrol stations. Remove the valve cap, attach the gauge, and note the reading.
  3. Compare and Adjust: Inflate or deflate your tyres to match the recommended PSI. Digital or manual inflators at petrol stations make this easy.
  4. Cold Tyres Only: Always check tyre pressure when your tyres are cold for accurate readings.

Can you drive on low tyre pressure?

Driving with low tyre pressure can lead to:

  • Increased fuel consumption.
  • Faster and uneven tyre wear.
  • Reduced braking performance and harder steering.
  • Higher risk of overheating, blowouts, and accidents.

At Tire Streets UK, we recommend checking your tyres regularly, especially before long journeys or when carrying heavy loads.

What Happens To Cars With Over Inflated Tyres?

Over inflated tyres can cause the following issues:

  • Reduced traction due to a smaller contact patch.
  • Uneven wear across the tyre’s centre.
  • Uncomfortable rides with the risk of blowouts.

It’s crucial to deflate over inflated tyres to the recommended PSI. This can be done using a deflator tool or the equipment available at petrol stations.

You can choose to get your tyre pressure set perfectly by visiting a technician or by following the below steps:

Inflating Your Tyres

  1. Attach the inflator hose securely to the valve.
  2. Inflate until the pressure matches the recommended PSI.
  3. If a digital inflator is used, it will stop automatically at the correct pressure. For manual inflators, monitor the gauge closely.
  4. Reattach the valve cap once done.

Deflating Your Tyres

  1. Use a deflation tool or the release function on a pressure gauge.
  2. Press down gently until the pressure reduces to the correct PSI.
  3. Double-check the reading and replace the valve cap.

Modern vehicles come equipped with TPMS, which alerts you when tyre pressure is too low or too high. If the TPMS warning light appears:

  • Pull over safely and check your tyre pressure.
  • Adjust or inspect for punctures as needed.

In addition to maintaining correct tyre pressure, follow these tips to prolong the life of your tyres:

  1. Regular Inspections: Look for signs of wear, cracks, or damage.
  2. Rotate Tyres: Switch the front and rear tyres periodically to ensure even wear.
  3. Check Tread Depth: Replace tyres with tread below the legal limit of 1.6mm.
  4. Balance and Alignment: Wheel balancing is crucial for your car’s health and your safety on the road. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven wear and reduce handling.

Electric vehicles (EVs) often require higher tyre pressure due to their heavier weight. Always refer to your manufacturer’s guidelines and check pressure more frequently to maintain range and performance. At Tire Streets UK, we stock a wide range of tyres suitable for EVs.
