Tyre Pressure Check Stockport

The tyre pressure is measured in BAR or pounds per square inch (PSI). Standard tyre pressure varies from vehicle to vehicle. Ideally, most passenger cars require pressure between 30 and 35 PSI to work.

We at Hillgate MOT Centre conduct tyre pressure check Stockport quickly and accurately using the best pressure gauges. Our highly qualified and experienced technicians suggest you opt for a tyre pressure check once every two weeks, and it must be done before a long journey.

Problems caused by incorrect tyre pressure:

These are a few problems that drivers face in the case of underinflated and overinflated tyres:

If the tyres are underinflated:

• Vehicles get harder to handle and steer around corners.
• They are more likely to overheat, which results in the blowout of tyres.
• The outside edges of tyres wear rapidly.
• The vehicle starts consuming more fuel than usual,
• The wrong amount of pressure is affecting the braking abilities.

If the tyres are overinflated,

• Over time, the tyre treads and sidewalls get harder, which reduces traction on the road and makes your journey more unstable and uncomfortable.
• It causes rapid wear in the centre of the tyres.
• It also influences fuel efficiency and braking performance.

The wrong pressure can cause damage to other vehicle parts like suspension and brakes.

How do we perform the service?

Our experts carry out the following steps to perform the tyre pressure check Stockport:

• Firstly, we clean the tyres and rims around the valves.
• We examine the all-over condition of the tyres to ensure there is no damage and that the tread depth is still within legal measurements.
• Then, we remove the valve dust cap and place our advanced pressure gauge on the tyre.
• After that, we observe the tyre pressure reading on the pressure gauge.
• We then inflate or deflate the tyre as per the reading.
• We retake the reading to check whether the tyre is correctly inflated.
