How Tyre Pressure Affects Fuel Efficiency & Safety How-Tyre-Pressure-Affects-Fuel-Efficiency-Safety

Tyre pressure is the amount of air that the tyres of your car contain. It is measured either in bar or PSI (pounds per square inch). Manufacturers usually provide recommendations for the pressure that your car tyres must have depending on the vehicle model. You will usually find it on a sticker on the side door on the driver’s side or in the user’s manual. This recommendation depends on the optimal balance between performance, efficiency, and safety of the vehicle in question. Both over-inflated and under-inflated tyres can contribute to sub-optimal driving conditions that will increase the chances of mechanical issues and accidents thus increasing your running expenses.
