Planning a family getaway or weekend trip? When your car is loaded up with luggage, passengers, and holiday gear, your tyres are working harder than usual.
Here’s what you need to know:
✅ Check your owner’s manual – Most vehicles need 3-5 PSI higher pressure when fully loaded
✅ Always check when tyres are COLD – before you start your journey, not after driving
✅ Don’t exceed maximum pressure listed on the tyre sidewall
Why it matters:
• Proper pressure prevents excessive tyre flexing and overheating
• Improves fuel efficiency on long journeys
• Ensures optimal braking and handling with extra weight
• Prevents premature tyre wear and potential blowouts
Safe travels start with properly maintained tyres. Not sure about your tyre pressure settings? Pop in for a quick check – we’re here to keep you safe on the road!
