All you need is a pressure gauge and if you don\u2019t have one, most service\u00a0stations do. You will find the correct pressure for your car in the owner&#8217;s handbook, or on the inside of the driver\u2019s door frame. It is crucially important to do this for the life of the tyre life and for fuel economy as under inflation will increases the amount of fuel your car is using. As grip and braking performance will also be affected there is also a safety consideration.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Take a closer look &#8211; <\/strong>Look for wear on your tyres as the tread directly affects how it grips the road, so it&#8217;s important to check your tyres regularly for uneven wear and foreign objects wedged in the tread. All of these types of damage can lead to a sudden blow out so stay away from potholes and kerbs in particular.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know when to say goodbye<\/strong> &#8211; If the tread wear limit is below 1.6mm or the tread wear indicator bars are showing you MUST replace the tyre.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What to swap &#8211;<\/strong> The purpose of regularly rotating tyres is to achieve more even wear on each tyre. \u00a0 Check the car\u2019s handbook first for specific advice about your car but if there is no information in the manual, then the tyres should be rotated every 12,000 km and its good practice to fit the newest tyres on the rear.\u00a0(Generally, if you have a front wheel drive car, your front tyres will wear more quickly than your rear tyres and vice versa for rear wheel drive vehicles).<\/li>\n<li><strong>What to buy &#8211; <\/strong>You should buy tyres that are recommended by your car\u2019s manufacturer for the particular model you drive as this is likely to be the tyre best suited to your car.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information check out<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/budget-tyres-or-premium-brands-does-it-really-matter\/\">Budget or performance tyres, does it really matter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/tyre-guide\/\">Simple Tyre Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What do tyre labels <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/what-does-the-new-eu-tyre-labelling-legislation-means-for-motorists\/\">mean<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/how-old-are-my-tyres\/\">How old are my tyres<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Geraldine Herbert<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4th October 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No matter how good your car is the level of grip you have on the road is determined only by the quality of your tyres so we have some tyre tips writes Geraldine Herbert Set a date \u2013 Mark a date on the calendar which is the day you check your tyre pressure once each [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16087,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[356,2164,117],"tags":[2216,2217,2215,102],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 -
