Incorrect car tyre air pressure may lead to an accident. Check out
It is very common when you ignore maintaining car tyres during busy schedule. One just looks at it only when it gets flat or torn off. Maintaining proper air pressure in a car is very important for the tyre’s life and overall driving ability of the cars.
During extreme weather it becomes very important to check air pressure. Incorrect air pressure might lead to slippage, heavy torn out and even accidents might occur. In the hot summer if the heat waves are too much, its ideal to keep one point lower than the recommended air pressure as heat expands the air pressure within the tyres. Always check your car tyre’s air pressure at regular intervals. Don’t ever forget to check them when you are going on a long drive.
Did you ever think about the time of filling up the air in the tyres. The experts recommend that you must check up your tyre pressure in the morning when tires are not hot and tyre pressure tool will show correct measurement. Guess! what would happen if you are filling the pressure when tyre is hot and air has already been expanded your meter is showing up you require less air pressure.
Tyre pressure can drop due to small perforations, the natural escape of air through the tyre’s components or even from a decrease in ambient temperatures. So it is important to check it once a month, because:
• Low pressure increases the risk of damage to your tyres
• Excess pressure of 20% can reduce the life of your tyre by up to 10,000 kms
• Correct tyre pressure will even save fuel
Michelin recommends that you must check the pressure of your tyres, including your spare, monthly and before any long journey, preferably when your tyres are cold. If they are hot, it is advisable to add 4-5 psi to the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
