Tyre Pressure Checks: UK Safety & Legal Basics
Simple monthly checks, correct PSI, and why pressure matters for braking distance and tyre life.
Keeping your tyres at the correct pressure is one of the cheapest ways to stay safe and save money. Under-inflated tyres wear faster, use more fuel, and increase braking distance.
How often should you check?
Check your tyres at least once a month and before any long journey, always when the tyres are cold.
Why pressure matters
- Correct PSI keeps braking distances short.
- It prevents uneven and rapid tread wear.
- It improves fuel economy.
