If you start or have been checking your tyre pressure regularly then you will be saving on fuel prices it has been established.
Road safety group the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) pointed out the importance of tyresand the need to keep them in good condition, as while the wheels “may be less than the size of a footprint,” it is the only thing between a vehicle and the road.
“As well as this, incorrect inflation could push fuel bills up by as much as five per cent and a 20 per cent reduction in the pressure of a tyre could reduce its useful life by as much as 30 per cent, the charity warned.”
Advising motorists, Chief Examiner at IAM Peter Rodger said “tyres should be checked weekly, when cold – and pointed out that over inflated tyres are as risky as under inflated ones”.
