The Importance Of Correct Tyre Pressures

SAFETY   Because tyres are the only point of contact between your car and the road, they play an important part in braking. Tyres that are not correctly inflated and/or are worn affects the braking distance of a vehicle.

COMFORT  Again because tyres are the only point of contact between the vehicle and the road, they also affect the comfort of the occupants. Over-inflated tyres cause the ride to be bumpy, while under-inflated tyres gives the ride a soggy feel and makes the steering heavy.

HANDLING  Incorrectly-inflated tyres or uneven tyres pressures in each wheel seriously affect the handling of the vehicle, making it difficult or impossible to drive or brake in a straight line or steer the vehicle around corners.

ECONOMY  Improper inflation, especially under-inflation, takes a toll on the fuel economy because the vehicle will need more power to accelerate. The steering system, whether powered or not will also be under more stress.
