When should you check the tyre pressure?

The correct combination for checking tyre pressure includes both regular checks when the tyres are cool and checks directly after a tyre change.

Regular checks when tyres are cool are important because pressure can increase as tyres heat up from driving. Monitoring pressure regularly helps ensure safety and optimal vehicle performance.

Secondly, checking tyre pressure after a tyre change is crucial to guarantee that the new tyres are properly inflated before use. This is essential for safety and efficiency.

In Germany, maintaining proper tyre pressure is covered under vehicle safety regulations, which emphasize the importance of road safety and vehicle maintenance. Skipping these checks can lead to reduced handling, increased tyre wear, and a higher risk of accidents.
