Vauxhall Zafira Tyre Pressure Maintenance
One of the main reasons, and the most important reason, for keeping your tyres are the correct pressure is safety.
Having your tyres set at the manufacturer’s recommended tyre pressure levels ensures that your vehicle maintains optimal contact with the road. This works to improve the grip and as well as reducing the braking distance.
Tyres which are under-inflated can cause you to have less control over your vehicle. Particularly on wet surfaces or in emergencies.
Properly inflated tyres offer better stability and handling, ensuring a safer drive.
Fuel Efficiency
Maintaining the correct tyre pressure help to reduce the rolling resistance of your tyre.
If your tyres are under-inflated the rolling resistance will increase. Making your engine work harder and therefore require using more fuel.
By keeping the correct tyre pressure, you can keep your fuel bill lower and help to reduce your carbon footprint.
Tyre Longevity
If tyres are not set at the right level of pressure, they will wear down faster and more unevenly.
This can lead to you needing new tyres ahead of schedule.
Keeping your tyres at the right pressure, means they will wear more evenly, and it can extend their lifespan.
Regular Tyre Pressure Checks
It’s advisable to check your tyre pressure regularly, especially before long journeys. This ensures your tyres are in optimal condition, enhancing the vehicle’s efficiency and safety. Regular checks not only protect your wellbeing but also help save on tyre wear and fuel costs.
