What Is Tyre Pressure?

Tyre pressure refers to the amount of air inside the tyre. This pressure must be at the values specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Correct pressure ensures optimal contact between the tyre and the road.

Disadvantages of Low Tyre Pressure

Low tyre pressure negatively affects both safety and tyre life.

  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Tyres wearing on the sidewalls
  • Reduced steering control
  • Longer braking distances

Disadvantages of High Tyre Pressure

Overinflated tyres reduce both road holding and driving comfort.

  • Reduced grip and road holding
  • Tyres wearing from the centre
  • Lower ride comfort
  • Higher risk of tyre damage on impacts

How to Determine the Correct Tyre Pressure?

The correct tyre pressure must always be set according to the values recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. This information is usually found on:

  • The inside of the driver’s door
  • The fuel filler cap
  • The vehicle owner’s manual

Tyre pressures should be measured when the tyres are cold to obtain accurate values.

How Often Should Tyre Pressure Be Checked?

Tyre pressure should be checked at least once a month and always before long trips. It is also recommended to check and adjust tyre pressures after sudden temperature changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does tyre pressure affect fuel consumption?

Yes. Low tyre pressure increases rolling resistance, which causes the vehicle to consume more fuel.

Should summer and winter tyres have different pressures?

Basic recommended values are generally similar; however, small adjustments can be made depending on the season and load condition. The manufacturer’s recommendations should always be taken into account.

What happens if tyre pressure is incorrect?

Tyre life becomes shorter, driving safety decreases and overall vehicle performance is reduced.
