The correct pressure is important both
for safety and for a long tyre life.
Incorrect tyre pressure can reduce the life of
your tyre by 20% and add to your fuel consumption every year by up
to a full tank of petrol.
So what is the answer? How do you ensure
that you have the correct pressure in your tyres?
Tyre and car manufacturers recommend that you
check your tyre pressure every two weeks, or certainly before you go on a long
journey. However, I am sure we have all experienced the frustration of going to
the local petrol station to check our tyre pressures, only to find that the tyre
inflation machine is out of order.
In a recent survey for www.Tyresafe.org, 56.8%
of those people surveyed said that when they called into a petrol station to
check their tyres, the air machine was not working! I am sure you have
experienced this at some time or another.
Furthermore the number of people who actually
check their tyres regularly is very small. Again from a survey undertaken by
Tyresafe, when asked when was the last time that the tyres were checked, 55.7%
said in the last week, 32.6% said in the last month and 11% said never! That is
an alarming statistic. Regular checks on your tyre pressure could save your
life, it will save you money and also reduce carbon emissions thus doing your
bit to save the planet.
Introducing a new local service.
For the majority of people, finding time to check their
tyres is difficult, however, a simple solution can be found.
Introducing the visiting tyre pressure service.
A visit twice a month from our trained operative will ensure that your vehicles
tyres are maintained at the correct manufacturers pressure. Furthermore, a check
on the legal depth of your tread will be undertaken, plus a general check on the
condition and wear of the tyres will be performed each visit. This service can
be carried out even if you are not with your vehicle, however you will need to
be in attendance if the spare tyre is also to be checked.
How much will this cost?
A monthly charge of £4 per vehicle for two
visits per month.
How do you know the correct tyre pressure
for my vehicle?
Using the vehicles registration number
(obtained when you sign up for this service), the correct pressure based on the
type of tyre and load can be ascertained. A record of the correct tyre pressure
for each customer will be kept to ensure that each visit will be accurate and
save time.
