TyreSafe releases new online tyre pressure calculator for caravan owners

TyreSafe, the UK’s not-for-profit tyre safety awareness organisation, has released an online tyre pressure calculator for caravan owners.

As the weather improves, the unique web form tool developed by TyreSafe’s team provides a valuable resource to ensure tyres are properly inflated for the journeys ahead. Simple to use, the TyreSafe Caravan Tyre Pressure Calculator requires just three pieces of information to be entered before generating a recommended pressure:

• Maximum Technically Permitted Load Mass
• Number of road wheels
• Tyre size and load index

Readily available on the move, it can be accessed via tyresafe.org on mobile devices, allowing owners to refer to the results while they are adjusting pressures.

TyreSafe has also released an informative animation for caravan owners to guide them through the essential tyre safety checks and maintenance they need to carry out before making their first trip of the season. Ensuring wheel bolts are at the correct tension, every tyre has more than 1.6mm of tread with no lumps, bumps or cuts in them and, of course, that they are at the right pressure, is equally important for the caravan as it is for the vehicle towing them. The short animation can be found in the caravan tyre safety section at tyresafe.org and in the film and animation library.
