“Why have my tyres worn out so quickly? I even bought premium tyres so this wouldn’t happen!”
Does this scenario feel familiar?
Just like your body, it is essential to keep the pressure in your tyres at the correct level, or you risk facing serious repercussions.
Tyres with the correct pressure can improve a vehicle’s steering, stopping and grip, as well as providing a full tyre life. Having an overinflated/under-inflated tyre means the tread will wear out unevenly.
Uneven tread wear will reduce the lifespan of your tyre and increase safety risk.
In most cars, when tyre pressure is low, a dashboard light symbol will appear to warn you.
Keep your tyres properly inflated!
