Motorists are being reminded by tyre safety organisation TyreSafe about the importance of making sure their tyres are properly inflated.<\/p>\n
TyreSafe’s tips for checking tyre pressures:<\/p>\n
1. Check your tyre pressures at least once a month or before any long journeys
\n2. Check the pressures against the vehicle manufacturers recommended level for the load being carried. This can be found in the vehicle handbook, inside the fuel filler cap or on a plate located on the driver’s door sill
\n3. Check pressures when your tyres are cold (i.e. when you’ve travelled less than two miles)
\n4. Ensure a reliable and accurate pressure gauge is used
\n5. Check pressures in all four tyres and don’t forget the spare if your vehicle has one
\n6. When checking pressures, give the rest of the tyre a thorough visual inspection. Remove any stones and other objects embedded in the tread and look out for any lumps, cuts or bulges in the tyre.
\n7. If you are unsure on any aspect, visit your nearest tyre fitting centre and seek expert advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
