Tyre pressure is crucial for both your safety and the performance of your vehicle. Underinflated tyres are one of the main causes of accidents, contributing to 40% of car-fault crashes, as they can lead to blowouts and loss of control.
Additional reasons include:
- Safety: Underinflated tyres can cause blowouts, increase stopping distances, and make handling worse, leading to accidents.
- Fuel Efficiency: Incorrect tyre pressure increases fuel consumption by about 5%, costing you more in fuel.
- Tyre Life: Tyres wear out faster when not properly inflated, reducing their lifespan by up to 25%.
- Handling: Proper tyre pressure improves steering, braking, and grip, making your car easier to control.
