Hi Bloggers,
Do you know how to check or how often you should check your PSI? Do you know how much damage it causes if your PSI is wrong?
Here at Big Motoring World we like to ensure all of our
customers have the knowledge and safety recommendations they need. Checking
your PSI weekly is very important. Correct tyre pressure can help to extend the
life of your tyres, improve your vehicles safety and help you save money on
your fuel!
The manufacturer of your vehicle specifies the suitable
pressure, it’s your responsibility to make sure your tyres have the correct
pressure.
Here are three main reasons you should check your PSI:
1.
Safety! Here at Big Motoring World we want to
make sure all of our customers are safe. Tyres that are under inflated can over
heat; and over inflated tyres can lead to poor vehicle handling on the road!
2.
Economy! Over or under inflated tyres suffer
MORE damage than those with the correct PSI and will need to be replaced more
regularly. Vehicles with under-inflated tyres have increased rolling resistance
that requires you to use more fuel. With the prices of fuel going up per week,
we want to make sure you’re not paying out more than you should be.
3.
Environment! Correct pressure helps you to
maintain optimum fuel efficiency. This will help lower CO2 emissions coming from your vehicle that have incorrect pressure.
It's
important to check tyre pressure regularly. It's not always apparent that air
is being lost, but it generally escapes at the rate of up to two pounds of air
every month. More air is usually lost during warm weather, so more regular
checks are needed when temperatures rise.
Always check
the tyre pressure with a tyre pressure gauge when your tyres are cold. Finally,
if you are using your vehicle to carry additional load or weight, always
consult your vehicle handbook for the correct loaded tyre pressure.
