How often should you check your car’s tyre pressure?
Check your car’s tyre pressure once a month, and also before a long drive.
The wrong tyre pressure increases your fuel consumption, lengthens your braking distance and raises the risk of a blowout. Measure with cold tyres and compare with the sticker in the door or the manual.
