Check Tyre Pressure Frequently
For safety. For fuel efficiency. For less CO2

A well-inflated tyre reduces rolling resistance. Thereby, improves efficiency.
  • Driving on tyres with air pressure at 50kPA (0.5kg/cm2) lower than it should be decreases fuel efficiency by 2 per cent and 4 per cent respectively in urban and suurban areas
  • Consider fitting your car with tyre pressure monitoring systems that allow you to know when you need to pump your tyres.
  • A correctly inflated tyre increases grip on the road and improves fuel efficiency . Therefore it is not only a greener, but a safer tyre.
