if tyre pressure is too low.
if tyre pressure is too high.
Check tyre pressures regularly when the tyres are cold, i.e.
before starting a run.
The difference in pressure between the tyres on one axle must
be no greater than 0.1 bar.
Tyre pressure can be raised by up to 1 bar after a fast run or in
warm weather. Tyre pressure should on no account be reduced
as it is then too low when the tyres cool down.
