Do not overstress your tyres
Overstressing of tyres (excessive speed or overloading) is to be avoided. This has the same critical effect as under-inflation and can cause irreparable damage to the tyre. Avoid overloading your vehicle. If you intend to drive under full-load/high-speed conditions adjust your tyre pressures according to the vehicle manufacturer‘s recommendations.

Check your tyre pressure regularly
Tyre pressure plays a definitive role in the service life and safety performance of your tyres. Tyre pressures are determined individually for every vehicle model by the tyre and vehicle manufacturers. Refer to the owner’s
manual, the fuel tank cover, the car door or glove compartment to find the correct tyre pressure for your vehicle. Or bring it in to us and we will adjust them for you.

Under- or over-inflation reduces the tyre’s ability to grip the road properly. Not only will this cause excessive or uneven tread wear, it has a substantial influence on handling, which can be particularly dangerous when cornering at high speeds.

If the inflation pressure is not adequate for the load being carried, the tyre temperature increases due to increased flexing. Excessive temperature can result in structural damage to the tyre and even to tyre failure. Check your tyre pressure every two weeks and adjust as necessary. Remember, only check your tyres when they are cold, not when they are still warm from driving. Also, do not forget to check your spare or emergency/temporary spare tyre, since you never know when you may need it. Please refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s supplementary information regarding emergency/temporary spare tyres.
