Are you looking for Tyre Pressure Check Pontypool for your vehicle?
It is essential to opt for regular tyre pressure checks to enjoy maximum handling efficiency and control. Experts recommend opting for a tyre pressure check and inflate/deflate tyres according to the manufacturer's specifications every fortnight or at least once a month. This helps to extend the tyre service life and also improves the fuel efficiency of your vehicle – not to forget your safety!
Sam's Tyres offers free tyre pressure checks Pontypool. Our professionals use advanced pressure gauges to inflate or deflate car tyres accurately.
Causes of tyre pressure loss
Some common reasons behind tyre pressure loss include:
- Valve leaks
- Faulty tyre puncture repair
- Slow punctures
- Difficult driving conditions
- Age of the tyres, etc.
When should you opt for a tyre pressure check?
- If you detect increased braking distances or increased rolling resistance, it might be due to inaccurately inflated tyres.
- Compromised road-tyre contact resulting in reduced traction and grip
- Poor cornering precision and handling manoeuvrability
- Uneven tyre wear
- Further, tyres without accurate pressure lose their ability to resist heat build-up, thereby resulting in increased chances of blowouts and threatening your on-road safety.
According to the UK government guidelines, it is mandatory for all vehicles manufactured on and after 2008 to have a TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) installed that tracks tyre pressure continuously. If the tyre pressure falls 25% below the recommended pressure level, the sensors trigger the TPMS warning light on your car dashboard. However, these sensors too can malfunction due to a host of reasons. Hence, even if your car has TPMS, you should reach us for routine tyre pressure checks Pontypool.
How can we help?
Our experts will first look for the tyre placard, usually found in the door jamb or glove compartment or the owner’s manual. Then, they will check the recommended tyre pressure levels and inflate or deflate your vehicle’s tyres accordingly.
