Why Tire Pressure Testing & Maintenance Matters

When was the last time you checked your tire pressure? Many drivers overlook this simple task. With the right tyre pressure, you can ensure a safe and smooth ride, better fuel efficiency, and an extended lifespan for your tyres.

Why Tire Pressure Maintenance Is Non-Negotiable?

Improve fuel efficiency.
since under-inflated tyres increase rolling resistance, your car needs to work harder, which consumes more fuel.

Extend Tire Life.
Tires wear unevenly when pressure is off. Underinflated tires wear more on the edges, while overinflated ones wear down the center.  So proper pressure can add thousands of miles to their lifespan. Using Tire Stones Remover to promptly remove stones from tire cracks at time can also significantly extend tire life.

Improve safety.
Low tyre pressure have more contact with the road, which increases friction and heat. This can lead to tire blowouts and reduces your car’s ability to handle wet or slippery roads. Overinflated tires,  have less tread touching the pavement, which weakens grip and makes braking distances longer. Either way, incorrect pressure puts you and your passengers at risk.

How to Test Tire Pressure Correctly?

Checking your tyre pressure is a relatively simply process and can be done using XTOOL TP150 Tire Pressure Diagnostic Scanner.  Ensure your tyres are cold, If you test warm tires, increases pressure causing an inaccurate reading.

1. Remove the valve cap from one tire and press the gauge firmly onto the valve stem.
2. Read the pressure on the gauge and compare it to your car’s recommended value.
3. Repeat the above steps for each tyre.
4. Once you’ve tested, it’s time to adjust. Inflate or Deflate as Needed.

Sometimes, the warning light may remain on even after adjusting the tire pressure. In this case, there may be a problem with the relevant system. You may need to perform a deep scan diagnosis with the FNIRSI FD10 scanner. If necessary, you should have the car inspected by a mechanic.

Tire pressure testing and maintenance is one of the simplest, cheapest ways to keep your car safe and efficient. Remember to check your tyre pressure regularly and before any long trips. It's also important to remember that properly inflated tyres can help you achieve better mileage and ensure your vehicle's handling is as effective and safe as possible.
