Pressure Safety Checklist

  • Check pressure monthly

    Air pressure in tyres, including the spare, should be checked at least monthly and always before extended driving.

  • Check tyres when they are cold:

    At least three hours after the vehicle has stopped and before it is driven more than two kilometres.

  • NOT while they are HOT:

    Do not reduce pressure when tyres are hot.

  • Always use an accurate pressure guage:

    To check pressure and maintain it at the level recommended on the vehicle tyre placard or in the owner's manual.

Tyre Pressure Advice:

The vehicle manufacturer selects the size and type of tyres for their vehicles. They perform the necessary testing to establish the vehicles' optimised operating tyre inflation pressures which can be found on the vehicle placard (located on the inside of the driver's door) and in the vehicle owners' manual. If the tyres on your vehicle are the same size as the original equipment tyre, inflate them to the pressures indicated on the placard. If the size of the tyres is different than the size indicated on the placard, please contact us for a pressure recommendation. We will need the following information from the tyre and wheel placard:
- the original equipment tyre size
- the vehicle manufacturer's inflation pressure.
