How to Check Your Tyre Pressure

Tyre pressure can affect your car’s handling and fuel efficiency. So it needs to be right. This is how to check it:

• First, make sure your handbrake’s on and the ignition’s off.
• Give the tyres around three hours to cool. It gives a more accurate reading.
• Inside your door frame, a chart shows the correct tyre pressures: they’re marked in PSI and BAR. 
• Get yourself a tyre pressure gauge. There are manual and digital ones. 
• Unscrew the dust caps on your tyres. And keep them somewhere safe! 
• Press the gauge onto the valve and you’ll hear a little hiss of air.
• The number shows the pressure.
• TOP TIP: Tyres at the wrong pressure will wear out faster. They’re also less safe. So check them regularly.
• Got a spare tyre? 
• Then it’s worth checking that, too. 
• Finally, don’t forget to screw all your dust caps back on.
