1)
Pressures should be checked & adjusted monthly, when the tyres are cold
(first thing in the morning, pressures will be about 2 psi higher at running
temperature & if exposed to bright sunshine.) Take this opportunity to check
the tyres for damage -cuts & cracks.
2)
Replace the valve caps. Do not allow dirt/grit to get into the valve.
3)
Any unusual pressure loss (about 3psi) should be investigated.
4)
In the unlikely event of driving on sand dunes, reducing pressures to about 7
psi has proved beneficial.
5)
If you reduce your tyre pressures, make sure you have the means to re-inflate
the tyres back to the correct road pressures!
6)
Always check spare wheel, so that it is ready for service when required.
