Do you know maintaining the correct tyre pressure is necessary for a smooth ride and better mileage? Below are the advantages of correct inflation of tyres & consequences of incorrect inflation of tyres
Excess tyre pressure:
• Bumpy ride
• Expected tyre life will reduce
Lesser tyre pressure:
• Reduces mileage (1 kmpl drop if tyre pressure maintained lesser by 4 psi)
• Reduces Tyre life by 50 %
• Difficulty in handling
 Check Tyre pressure once in a week from fuel pump/ authorized service centre
 Ensure that the tyres are cool when you take the reading
 Dimension of the tyre (as per owner’s manual) should not be changed whenever replaced (Font size need to be reduced)
Tyre with different inflation level - Contact with road
Correct inflation:
• Better handling
• Better tread life
• Comfortable ride
Under inflation:
• Build excessive heat
• Sudden failure on tyres
• Reduce tire life
Over inflation:
• Create cuts on tires
• Lead to puncture
• Lead to crack by sudden impact
So always ensure tyre pressures are maintained at recommended levels as specified by the company. An Improperly maintained tyre or tyre pressure may cause,
• Frequent punctures
• Drop in performance
