Remember to check your tyre pressures at
least once every two weeks, this should be done when the tyres are cold, and
always check before a long journey, or if the vehicle is to be fully loaded.
Don’t forget! Both under inflation and over inflation can be equally dangerous!
They affect the steering, braking and the overall handling of the vehicle. If in
doubt contact us for friendly expert help and advice.
Each time you check your tyre pressures remember to also take a look at the
condition of your tyres. If you notice any uneven wear or have any other
concerns seek professional advice as this could indicate any number of
mechanical problems, including under or over inflation, unbalanced wheels, or
the wheels being out of line.
If your vehicle is used infrequently, particularly if you live by the sea, and
if the vehicle is parked outside where the rubber is exposed to sunlight, always
check the tyres for cracking and deterioration. If you see any signs of this
please seek expert advice.
IMPORTANT: Remember the minimum tread depth for car, light vans and their
trailers is 1.6mm in the grooves of the central three quarters of the tread
pattern, and around the total tyre circumference.
If you are in any doubt over any wheel or tyre related problem, please do not
hesitate to call in to LINCOLNSHIRE TYRE CO. LTD for advice. |
