Tire pressure plays a definitive role in the service life and safety performance of your tires. Tire pressures are determined individually for every vehicle model by the tire and vehicle manufacturers. Refer to the owner’s manual, the fuel tank cover, the car door or glove compartment to find the correct tire pressure for your vehicle.

Under- or over-inflation reduces the tire’s ability to grip the road properly. Not only will this cause excessive or uneven tread wear, it has a substantial influence on handling, which can be particularly dangerous when cornering at high speeds.

If the inflation pressure is not adequate for the load being carried, the tire temperature increases due to increased flexing. Excessive temperature can result in structural damage to the tire and even to tire failure.

We recommend:

Check your tire pressure every two weeks and adjust as necessary. Remember, only check your tires when they are cold, not when they are still warm from driving. Also, do not forget to check your spare or emergency/temporary spare tire, since you never know when you may need it. Please refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s supplementary information regarding emergency/temporary spare tires.
