Tyresure Encourages Winter Tyre Pressure Check

Tyresure is encouraging drivers to check their tyre pressures as the temperatures plummet. With winter drawing in and early mornings seeing temperatures nudging zero and below, many motorists aren’t checking their tyres and adjusting for the cooler temperatures. Air contracts when it is cooled, meaning that first thing in the morning your car tyre pressures could be several pounds lower than they were during the summer months – with an obvious effect on your car’s handling and road manners.

“As road grip decreases and the threat of black ice becomes ever-more realistic, the condition and inflation of your tyres becomes imperative,” explained Tyresure managing director Ian Smith, adding: “It’s wise to check your tyres every week anyway, but this won’t show you, the driver, how the temperature and pressure of your tyres can change as you drive in cold weather. Tyresure uses an easy-to-read visual display that shows a live, real-time display of both tyre pressure and temperature and reassesses the situation every 30 seconds to keep you fully aware of potential hazards.”

Tyresure uses a high-visibility colour display screen that displays safe temperatures and pressures in green, changing immediately to flashing red should these breach pre-set safety parameters. The device is retailing at £179.00 for a complete four-wheel kit and dashboard display.
