Checking Auto Car Tyre pressure

Incorrect tyre pressure will affect the handling of your car, fuel consumption and how the tread wears. Check tyre pressure once a month and before leaving on a long trip. Also check the pressure of the spare wheel once in a while.

It will be in the service manual, inside the driver’s door or on the inside of the flap over the fuel cap. Normally the front wheels need to be pumped harder than the rear wheels as they bear the weight of the engine. If the car is loaded, both the front and rear wheels will need to be inflated to their optimal pressure. If you do not know how to work the pump ask one of the friendly attendants to show you. Next time you drive in, jump out and use it feeling like a master. (more…)
