If your tyres regularly lose pressure to a significant degree, you may have a slow puncture - and should consider tyre replacement. Tyres can quickly become underinflated if you don't check them regularly.
Under inflated tyres will have uneven contact with the road and will exhibit excessive wear on the inside and outside edges of the tread if they are left underinflated for some time. Not only does low tyre pressure wear your tyres out more quickly but you may also experience increased rolling resistance with the road - which means reduced fuel efficiency and increased CO2 emissions.
On the other hand, putting too much air in your tyres can be just as damaging and costly. Over inflated tyres will have a smaller contact patch the part of the tyre that makes contact with the road which can in turn lead to a loss of traction and poorer braking distances.
Overly high tyre pressure will also cause heavy and uneven wear across the central part of the tyre leading to shorter tyre lifespans than if it was correctly inflated. It's not always apparent that air is being lost from your tyres, but it generally escapes at the rate of up to two PSI of air every month. More air is usually lost during warm weather, so more regular checks are needed when temperatures rise.
You can find the recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle in your vehicle handbook or printed either in the sill of the driver's door or on the inside of the fuel tank flap. Your vehicle manufacturer may suggest different tyre pressures for your front and rear tyres so make sure you're aware of these guidelines. Alternatively use our tyre pressure finder.
Always check the tyre pressure with a tyre pressure gauge when your tyres are cold. Finally, if you are using your vehicle to carry additional load or weight, always consult your vehicle handbook for the correct loaded tyre pressure.
Find Your Tyre Pressure. Bar and psi are both units of pressure used by car manufacturers to specify the correct tyre pressure for a particular vehicle.

Insert change into the machine until you hear the motor running. Fill each tyre by placing the end of the hose over the valve stem and pressing on the lever. Recheck the inflation pressure when the tyres are cold. After filling your tyres, use the gauge to check pressure again. Never drive on overinflated tyres. Over inflation can result in decreased traction, premature wear, and decreased impact absorption.
Make the above procedure a monthly ritual. Regularly checking your tyre pressure is the best way to ensure your tyres never dip far below the optimal PSI. Accuracy matters and you should keep that in mind when choosing a gauge. For just a few dollars, you can find a quality, accurate tyre pressure gauge that gives accurate readings. Before the creation of the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System TPMS , knowing whether your air pressure had reached unsafe levels meant getting out, crouching down, and using a tyre gauge.
But how does TPMS work? The TPMS warning light will help warn you when your tyre pressure is too low and could create unsafe driving conditions. Do you know what to do next?
