You should get your own tyre
pressure gauge and use it whenever
you check your tyre pressures. This
will make it easier for you to tell if a
pressure loss is due to a tyre
problem and not due to a variation
between gauges.
While tubeless tyres have some
ability to self-seal if they are
punctured, you should look closely
for punctures if a tyre starts losing
pressure.
For convenience, the recommended
cold air pressures and tyre sizes are
on a label on the driver's doorjamb.
Tyre Inspection
Every time you check inflation, you
should also examine the tyres for
damage, foreign objects, and wear.
You should look for:
Bumps or bulges in the tread or
side of the tyre. Replace the tyre if
you find either of these conditions.
Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side
of the tyre. Replace the tyre if you
can see fabric or cord.
Excessive tread wear.
TREAD WEAR INDICATOR
INDICATOR LOCATION MARKS
Your tyres have wear indicators
moulded into the tread. When the
tread wears down, you will see a 12.7
mm wide band across the tread. This
shows there is less than 1.6 mm of
tread left on the tyre.
A tyre this worn gives very little
traction on wet roads. You should
replace the tyre if you can see three
or more tread wear indicators.
