Checking tire pressure

Measure always be on cold tires. During the trip, the tires warm up and the pressure increases, so if you measure the pressure immediately after the trip, the result will be distorted. Prophylactic pressure test should be carried out every three to four weeks. The pressure drop of about 1.5% per month is the norm. If this value is greater, check the tire carefully. Gates wheel should always close the cap: the dirt from entering the valve needle may jam and it will not be hermetically sealed. Tire pressure should not fall below the minimum value. On the sticker on the back of the car given the pressures of tires for your vehicle. Create tire pressure 0.2-0.3 bar above normal has some advantages: the steering is more sensitive, tires wear out more slowly and even slightly reduced fuel consumption. The disadvantage - reduced damping properties of the tire.
