Regularly check your tyre pressure

The right pressure improves fuel economy and extends tyre life — and takes two minutes to check.

Regularly check your tyre pressure

Tyre pressure is the most overlooked part of car care. The right pressure saves fuel, improves grip and makes your tyres last longer.

Why pressure matters

  • Under-inflated tyres add rolling resistance and burn more fuel.
  • Over-inflation wears the centre of the tread; under-inflation wears the edges.
  • Wrong pressures reduce grip — especially in the wet.

How to check

  • Find the recommended pressure on the placard in the driver's door jamb.
  • Check when the tyres are cold.
  • Or call into any of our stores and we'll check them for you.
