Tyre Pressure Check- Basic of fuel efficient driving

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Maintaining a right tire pressure is as important as having water and oil in your car. A simple, quick check of your tire pressure could help to save you money on fuel, or avoid the risk of a serious accident. You should check your car tire for wear, cracking, bulging, pressure or objects caught in the tread at least once a week. Correct tire pressure is also considered as the basic of fuel efficient driving.

If you tire pressure is incorrect, you will find that you use more fuel than necessary, your braking can be ineffective and your grip to the road could be seriously affected as well. Hence, correct tire pressure is crucial to driving performance. There are no flashing lights to let you know when your tire pressure is too low or too high, so it is up to you to stay on top of it.

Under pressure tires can cause resistance on the road which implies that the car has to work harder while driving. In this case, the car will consume more fuels.

Steps to Maintain Correct Tire Pressure

The tire pressure on your car is very important and you need to keep it at the right level. Following are few steps that will help you to maintain correct tire pressure.

Get a tire pressure gauge. Tire pressure gauges are very cheap and can be found in almost every gas station, department store, and definitely at any auto parts store. Some even have digital readings.

Check your tires. Connect the gauge by unscrewing the cap on the valve that’s coming out of your tire rim. Tire pressure is measured in PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). The standard tire pressure is 32 PSI for all cars and light trucks.

Adjust the PSI. If the pressure in your car tires is at 28 PSI, then you need to add 4 pounds to reach 32. Rule of thumb is that if you’re using an electric air pump at the gas station, they pump about 1 pound per second. If your car is at 28 PSI, then pumping air in the tire for about 4 seconds should put your tire to 32 PSI.

One can also invest in tire pressure monitor or other devices to keep the car tire in proper condition. These tire pressure devices can save you a fortune and maybe even help save lives!

Proper alignment is required not just for your safety, better handling of the car and fuel efficiency, but also to ensure uniform wear and tear of the tire.
