Pressure and Safety

Insufficient inflation pressure is the
main
cause of tyre damage. On the contrary,
correct
inflation pressure is the main secret for correct maintenance and a longer 'lifetime' for your tyres.
Extended lifetime and, as a result, excellent performance for a longer period of time, means concrete
economic benefits
, due to savings in
tyre replacement
costs and lower
fuel
consumption.
Correct inflation pressure also improves vehicle maneuverability, reducing the 'braking distance'.
A
monthly check up
is sufficient to keep the tyres at the correct inflation pressure. It is a quick, yet fundamental way to control the health of your tyres and is important for your driving
safety
.
Here are the steps/advice for optimal control of your tyre pressure.
Where to find the recommended pressure values for the tyres of a specific vehicle.
The recommended inflation pressure for the vehicle's tyres is specified by the manufacturer on a plate located inside the vehicle itself. The plate may be positioned on the corner of the door, on the pillar of the door, on the dashboard door, inside the rear door, on the petrol flap, or in various other parts of the vehicle.
The exact location should be indicated in the vehicle's user manual. If the dimensions of the tyres are changed, the relevant load/inflation tables should be consulted.
