Inflation
Check for inflation and condition of your
vehicle tyres periodically.
Check the pressure in the tyres when
they are cold.
Keeping the tyres properly inflated gives
you the best combination of riding com-
fort, handling, tyre life and better fuel ef-
ficiency.
Over inflation of tyres makes the vehicle
ride bumpy and harsh. Tyres are more
prone to uneven wear and damage from
road hazards.
Under inflated tyres reduce your comfort
in vehicle handling and are prone to fail-
ures due to high temperature. They also
cause uneven wear and more fuel con-
sumption.
NOTE
Every time you check inflation
pressure, you should also examine
tyres for uneven wear, damage
and trapping of foreign objects in
the treads and wear.
