[ "15 Tips About Tyre Pressure From Industry ExpertsWhat is the correct air pressure for your tyres? How often should you check it? And why does tyre pressure matter anyway? You'll find out here.Everyone knows that checking tyre pressures is essential, but few people know why. Here's what you need to know about keeping under-inflated tyres as the pros do.1 It saves fuel.Costs are an excellent, motivating factor to maintain vehicle tyre pressures, especially in this day and age when petrol costs are soaring ever upwards. According to two separate studies conducted by Bridgestone/Firestone and Michelin, operating a passenger car at its recommended inflation pressure can improve gasoline mileage up to 3%. Replacing an SUV or minivan with a sedan will allow you to save even more at the rate of 5%. Of course, saving fuel is even more critical for driving huge vehiclesIt reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Today's cars are so much more efficient than they exude far less CO2 for every mile travelled than cars built decades ago. That means that any reduction in tyre pressure will impact the overall vehicle economy and carbon footprint.2 Reduced wearLonger-lasting tyres mean paying less for repairs or replacements. Under-inflated tyres are an open invitation to uneven wear across the tread area because only the tire's outer edges are making contact with the road surface. This can be easily avoided by maintaining proper air pressure in your tyres all-round.3 Reduced fuel consumption;According to the Japanese Automobile Tyre Manufacturers Association tests, reducing tyre pressure by 10% can raise your car's rolling resistance by as much as 20%. That means you need more energy to move forward, which of course costs more petrol. Your Tyres Aston will last longer because of reduced friction against the road surface.4 It reduces braking distance;A significant factor determining what happens when you slam on your brakes is 'coefficient-of-rolling friction.' This is a complex way of saying how much heat is generated while cornering, accelerating, or braking. Under-inflated tyres generate significantly more heat compared to their adequately inflated counterparts. The difference in rolling resistance may only amount to a few percentage points, but tyre pressure is just one of many factors involved.

The difference in rolling resistance may only amount to a few percentage points, but tyre pressure is just one of many factors involved.5 It reduces the chances of wheel damage;Dealing with under-inflated tyres means removing excess stress from both tyres and wheels. That's because the sidewalls will be stressed since it now impacts with less energy. In other words, under-inflated tyres add unnecessary stress to the tyre itself and the wheel rim. The result? Longer-lasting rims and tyres are less likely to puncture or detach from the wheel.6 It reduces vehicle vibration;Under-inflated tyres will lead to a greater degree of sidewall flexing. That leads to a significant increase in tyre noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). Since this is already an issue with cars even at the correct pressure, it's little wonder why so many motorists struggle with tyre-induced vibration when their car's tyres aren't properly inflated.7 Tyre pressure affects ride qualityHigh tyre pressure results in a stiffer contact patch between your tyre and the road surface. That, in turn, leads to a harsher riding experience, reduced fuel economy, and reduced grip when cornering because there's not enough give in the tyre's sidewalls. In other words, if you're looking for better ride quality, you need under-inflated tyres.The dangers of driving on insufficient tyre pressure1 Reduced control;The reason why low tyre pressure could lead to less braking efficiency is simple: you have less traction between your tyres and whatever it is that they are in contact with at any given moment - be it a wet or a dry road surface. This means that when it comes to stopping distances, leaving out even just 10% will have a considerable impact, particularly in emergencies where every second counts.2 Vehicle damageIf you lack the proper amount of pressure in your tyres, you significantly increase the likelihood of them overheating, which in turn places added stress on the tyre treads and gives rise to a much higher rate of failure - even if your ignition never switches off. You can tell that your Tyres Aylesbury are overheated because they'll squeal when turning corners at high speeds or braking hard. The noise will be accompanied by a visible sheen of white fluid coming from beneath your car's chassis.3 Premature wear;Under-inflated tyres wear out much more quickly than over-inflated ones, especially when it comes to cornering forces associated with braking and accelerating (remember, cornering force occurs every time you brake or accelerate).4 Vehicle vibration;This is already considered a problem with cars even when the tyre pressure is set according to manufacturer requirements. You can quickly tell there's an issue because vibrations in your steering wheel and car seat will increase significantly even at speeds as low as 70 km/h (43 mph) and 120 km/h (74 mph), respectively.5 Reduced fuel economy;When you reduce tire pressure, you increase the contact area between your tyres Aston and the road surface. That reduces rolling resistance, which is why most racing tyres are under-inflated. Unfortunately, under-inflated tyres also require more energy to rotate since they carry extra weight due to their sprung mass." ]
