A Quick View of the Benefits of Our Free Tyre Check

  • Improved handling and safety – Keep your car responsive and stable in all conditions.
  • Extended tyre lifespan – Proper pressure reduces uneven wear, helping your tyres last longer.
  • Lower fuel costs – Well-inflated tyres reduce rolling resistance, saving you money at the pump.
  • Environmentally friendly – Efficient tyres mean fewer emissions and a smaller carbon footprint.
  • Peace of mind – Catch minor issues early before they become costly or dangerous.

Why Car Tyre Pressure Checks Matter

When your tyres aren’t at the correct pressure, it can affect a lot of things. Your car won’t handle properly, your braking distance may increase, and your tyres will wear out faster, to name but three. A quick car tyre pressure check can save you money, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce the risk of blowouts — especially in hot weather or at motorway speeds.
Many modern vehicles have a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), but it doesn’t always detect slow leaks or sidewall damage. That’s why our free tyre pressure service includes a full visual inspection from one of our trained technicians.

What’s Included in Our Free Tyre Air Pressure Check

Tyre Pressure Top-Up

We check and adjust your tyre pressure based on the manufacturer’s recommended PSI. This helps keep your car stable, safe, and fuel-efficient.

Visual Tyre Inspection

We look at tread depth, sidewall condition, and for signs of wear or damage. It’s a simple way to catch potential issues before they become serious.

Spare Tyre Check

We also include a quick inspection of your spare tyre at no extra cost. That way, you’re never caught out with an un-usable spare right when you need it most.

Friendly Tyre Advice

Our team will explain any findings and offer tips for keeping your tyres in top condition. You’ll leave feeling informed and confident.

We’ll never push a sale, either. If your tyres are in great shape, we’ll tell you so, and if something’s not quite right, we’ll explain your options clearly.

Get a grip on tyre pressures!

Maintaining the optimum level of grip on the road is essential for ensuring road safety, but it can only be achieved when your tyres have the correct pressure. The diagram below will show you how to tell if your tyres are under-, properly-, or over-inflated, and how under- or over-inflated tyres affect driving performance.

Three Benefits of Properly-inflated Tyres

1 – Safety First

Under-inflated tyres pose significant risks, including overheating and increased chances of bursting, as well as compromising vehicle handling. Low pressure on the front axle can result in understeer, while low pressure on the rear axle may lead to oversteer.

2 – Better Fuel Economy

Both over-inflated and under-inflated tyres incur greater damage compared to those with the correct pressure, necessitating more frequent replacements. Even a 60% inflation, though not uncommon, can accelerate tyre wear, significantly reducing tyre lifespan. Additionally, vehicles with under-inflated tyres experience heightened rolling resistance, something which will also hurt your car’s fuel economy.

3 – Environmental Benefits

Ensuring your tyres are properly inflated optimises fuel efficiency as we’ve seen, so it can also play a vital role in reducing your vehicle’s carbon footprint. By maintaining the correct tyre pressure, you not only lower CO2 emissions but also contribute to protecting the environment for future generations.

When Should You Get a Free Tyre Pressure Check?

  • Before long journeys
  • After hitting a pothole or kerb
  • If your TPMS light is on
