Tyre Pressure

Tyre pressure is the amount of air inside the tyre, measured in PSI (pounds per square inch) or bar. Correct tyre pressure is essential for safety, fuel efficiency, and tyre longevity. Under-inflated tyres increase fuel consumption, accelerate wear on the outer edges, and can overheat — increasing the risk of blowouts. Over-inflated tyres reduce grip, increase wear on the centre of the tread, and give a harsher ride. Vehicle manufacturers specify the correct pressures in the owner's manual and on a placard inside the driver's door.
