It’s that time of the year when we need a gentle reminder to re check our vehicles tire pressures and to teach our siblings not to make the mistake of only checking tire pressures in the heat of the day.
Changing weather conditions means we need to re think our tire maintenance. In the cold wet months of winter we’re often more aware about checking tire pressures to optimize contact on the road in slippery conditions. With temperatures rising checking tire pressures in the heat of the day could lull you into a false sense of security.
The sun can heat up the tires on your car and force the tire pressure to go up fooling you into thinking all is OK whereas in fact they could still be dangerously low. A Travelsafer spokesperson adds, "Checking tire pressures first thing in the morning in the summer will give you a better idea of their real air pressure."
"The potential problem with low tire pressure isn’t just about the effect on a car’s handling, but that failing to keep tires at recommended pressure could quickly lead to irreparable damage. Under stress, the stretching rubber of an under inflated tire pulls away from the reinforcing materials underneath it and can eventually cause a total failure."
The cost is not only in money to replace tires or for extra fuel burnt with inefficient contact with the road, but the risk of serious injury in an accident for you and your loved ones.
Tire pressures need to be checked periodically. Don’t rely on tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) to alert you of low tire pressure. These systems are a tool that can help alert you when pressure is low, but a tire may drop well below proper inflation risking poor contact with the road long before the TPMS warning light comes on.
The TPMS light only comes on when the tire pressure is too low or too high and may not accurately determine the tire pressures if multiple tires are losing pressure at the same time.
“We want drivers to feel safe and secure on the road.” explains the Travelsafer representative. “Our digital tire pressure gauge consistently delivers accurate readings and can easily be stored in a glove compartment or small bag.It is important to get into the habit of regularly monitoring tire pressures and it’s great to see so many parents taking on board our advice."
